Hi Shawn,
My name is Russ, I live in San Diego, CA. I just put a Black Magic on my
'99 5.2 4x4 today was wondering how you set yours up. It was about 90 degrees
here today, and the temp just barely touched 210 while driving around town.
I am also running a 180 t-stat. Where did you position the fan on your
radiator? My brother thinks if we move it towards the bottom of the radiator
it will be more effective.
Thanks for any info,
Russ
