Exhaust manifolds ceramic coated, a mini starter, and a clutch fan with a shroud.
I've been building and using tow vehicles for 50 years and just like all the other comments, I have always used a thick radiator, a factory/proper shroud, and an engine driven fan. No overheating. Also, I've fixed many burnt up relays, connections, and wiring on add-on electric fans on customer's cars.
You should check out Jet Hot High Performance Coatings in Burlington,NC. They coat headers, full exhaust, and even turbos. My headers were about 550 degrees before they were coated, afterwards they are about 320 degrees.
You can try bypassing the radiator with the trans cooler lines running a large aux trans cooler. It should drop engine temps.
Sounds.. and looks like you need to get into a small shop with a lift. Be cool to see a sponsor jump on board to help you out make that happen. Enjoying all the videos and hard work you put into these trucks, keep at it!
Great Video, I really enjoyed visiting with you in Nashville on power tour. Keep up the great content.
Dual fans need to be wired like oem dual fans, both run in low and then both run in high. The point is both fans are always pulling air. Of not with one fan on, it is pulling some air through the non running fan, instead of the radiator.
😂 hahaha working on the ground does suck, build your shop with a tall ceiling next to your garage. Another great video
See you at in Atlanta. I'll be there💪
Nice work I hate wiring those headers look good
You can upgrade to the gear reduction starter from the later trucks. It's a lot smaller and more powerful.
I feel you about working on the ground. Having a lift is such a game changer. It’s been my experience that working on a dually is better on a 4 post lift. Probably not in the cards at your house, maybe a shop is in your future.
Would you ever consider adding some vents to the hood to get that heat out??
I would try removing the air dam off the front bumper. With truck being lowered you are not getting much fresh air under the truck to drag the hot air out of the engine compartment.
Man I just put a Cold Case 34” rad and dual 16” Summit brand straight blade fans on my truck! Was going to go with Spal fans but for a tad more than half the price of the Spal fans, I got the Summit ones with 3 year replacement warranty. Picked up a Davis Craig 0444 controller while I was at it!
By the way, please do more of the voice you done during the shroud install 🤣
You need a scissor lift that lift 2 ft off ground
Delta PAG fans are the electric fans to go with
Josh I would just go back to the og clutch fan ,maybe more blades ?? And an electric pusher fan for the front of the condencer and radiator .I had nothing but problems when I went the electric fan route. If it wasn't relay issues, it was thermo switch issues ,not worth the headache for a vehicle with that big block and your tow vehicle.
Just put the fans on a switch. Creating more things to go wrong with sensors. Plenty of drag and drivers go for simplicity... turn on vehicles and hit the switch for the fans.
What brand are the headers you've got on there?
Yeah buddy love your videos and you have a great taste in trucks . I've been watching you for awhile I know you're better than working on the ground you gotta find a way to get a lift maybe outdoor lift or the quick jacks take care brother
Good video . Hope it worked
it's time for a shop in back with a lift make life a little easier
If you have your headers ceramic coated they will retain heat better than the wrap and last for the life of the headers.
Hey man I live that dually !!
At approximately the 3 minute mark I can’t help but notice the back side of the rad looks to be covered or plugged up restricting air flow or is it just the camera playing games ?
What is all over the radiator fins? mite be a prob maybe it is just me.
Yeah buddy!
How long has it been since you changed your transmission filter? A partially clogged filter will cause overheating issues.
Man I put 11 blade plastic fan on my 98 and it never goes pass 200deg. Normal driving 187-190 in 95deg heat.
I dont understand. I've owned a few of these an 88 and 3 square body style. 454 and all never had an overheating problem with any of them. Towing all kinds of things
