Thanks. The truck runs normal temps, as confirmed by an IR gun. I am thinking it has to do with the fact the clutch is severe duty. It barely free wheels when the engine is shut down. I might try a regular clutch fan first.

As for the alternator, I have run a cs130 another car, and while it seemed okay, I remember there were some fitment issues which needed addressing. The 3g just seemed like a good alternative since there are some plenty of them and they only put out 95 or 130 amps, which really seemed to help narrow down which one to get from a yard.

I don’t have a whole load of draw on my system, but just was looking to upgrade if I decided to try e fans.
