Yeah, that's sort of the combination I was thinking. I know the
150 comes with its own shroud. I'm currently on vacation (away
from my truck) so I can't go out a measure the radiator size.
Does the 150 shroud cover most of the radiator area? Doesn't
seem like it would--perhaps the stock shroud could be adapted to
help pull more air through? Maybe someone has already tried
this? Thanks for the recommendation. On that group deal, it
wasn't clear to me what product you were speaking of--the fan or
a water pump? I assume the water pump. I checked NAPA online
and saw I could get a brand new pump for around $71 which didn't
seem bad. I'm still toying with the idea of getting a
flowkooler, though. Hmm . . . decisions, decisions.
