I'm trying to do the trans crossmember and driveline angle and engine level. Could you give me advice on this. I have a 47re long bed 4 door

Have you had any over heating issue’s with the fan’s being on the back side of the radiator and Innercooler as far as sitting idling or rolling down the highway?

No issues at all. Never has come close to getting hot. Towing has been no problem

question? I bought my truck with the core support you have on in this video (grill headlights, etc). I want to go back to the 1986 grill and headlights, all I would need is the core support for that year (86) and necessary headlights and grill?

Yes that is correct

Did you add any support back were you removed those two vertical supports?

@RicosGarage 3 жыл бұрын

Yes. I forgot to mention that. What I did was lay down some 2" wide 1/8" flat bar where the supports were and stich welded in place. Thanks for the question that skipped my mind totally

In your video you mention using 14” fans. In your Amazon link I only see 12&16 inch. Are you sure they were 14” Maybe they are just sold out of 14”

@RicosGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Probably sold out like everything else. You could probably get enough airflow with the 12s if you had to. The 16s physically won't fit as there is no room to spare with the 14
