Well, since I was going to swap to an electric fan soon I guess this just being released and on sale made it an easy choice to upgrade to. Triple pass 2 core radiator from Mountune. Cheaper than the Mishi single pass. And I don't tow so I don't really need the mechanic fan. The 4,100 cfm electric will work fine along with this radiator.

I recommend keeping the mechanical fan. Why you ask? Since the Fan clutch has an electrical connection to the PCM it can throw a check engine light

I don't care for the giant mechanical fan. I don't tow. Simple revision of the tune will generate no codes.

Regardless whether you tell or not doesn't matter. We shall see what happens with the fans you put in I am curious if they will put out enough air flow compared to the mechanical fan.

It doesn't need to be a much as the mechanical. Just enough to keep it from overheating and at the stock thermostat temp. And this triple pass radiator will help with that. It will be a 4,100 cfm brushless.

In my search for lightweight pulleys I found this water pump pulley. Couldn't find anyone that makes a crank pulley anymore. A small gain through lighter weight and slightly larger underdrive water pump pulley. Should help with MPG's a smidgen. Will I notice it? Maybe, maybe not. There was no choice in color though.

Probably marginal, but I wonder if it will affect the cooling capability being a under drive? ?

The difference is so small I highly doubt it. It's not even advertised as an underdrive.

Switching up to a soft folding tonneau for better mileage till I need the camper again. So far not a bad cover for $194.

Fan shroud for the electric fan. I be learning to weld aluminum as soon a the aluminum MIG conversion comes in. I'll try to reuse the stock shroud mounting locations.

Here we go. Have to say that was some quick shipping from Australia. Everything arrived nice and intact. Prepping it for some Herculiner to add an extra layer of protection.

Final layers. Watching paint dry.
