BlackSS04 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 what makes the coolent temp rise? does it rise more when you have the ac on? i've been noticing when my ac is on, the temp will go up to 200-210, is this normal? but when the ac is off, it runs at 185 when i'm babbying the throttle. so basically, i will get more timing when the ac is off and the temp is at 185, right? i'm just trying to figure the do and dont's to get more timing out of my 160* stat when i need it, thats all. any info will be appeciated.

BlackSS04 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 so e-fans is my answer to keep my temps around the 180-190 range even when the AC is on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 so e-fans is my answer to keep my temps around the 180-190 range even when the AC is on ? yep neither of my temps move at all, trans or engine collant oh and with stock e-fans they turn on when the ac compressor turns on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSS04 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 yep neither of my temps move at all, trans or engine collant oh and with stock e-fans they turn on when the ac compressor turns on good, i'll have to invest in some fans soon. what would be better with my setup, the LS1 fans or the flexalite fans? and i'll also need a harness right? and i didn't know that our stock fans only worked when the ac was on. why do they do this? and sorry for all the questions, i don't know much about cooling.

dl11sec70dodge Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 the factory fans on my truck also vary speed depending on cooling needs so they dont just turn on blazing fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
