Is there any reason you can't run a factory style fan system? You know, proper mechanical fan and shroud, setup with the correct spacing. You don't hear of a lot of guys overheating with this setup.




Absolutely!!
The Mopar OE system works well due to its overdesign..
In SoCal on hot days, our 525HP wedge runs fine and cool, rarely goes beyond 180...

Sounds like the block needs to be flushed out..
If plugged badly one can hang 5 fans on it and it will still overheat..

Just my $0.02..
