Jason,
        Hope you kept the original fan & shroud. If you start seeing temperature
problems this summer, swap it back in - the situation won't improve.

        Did you install a cut-off switch for the fan? If you didn't, and you go
offroad, splice one in. Spinning BM150 + water = no blades left on the fan.
