Thanks for confirming.

This is what the bottom bracket looks like. If you have something else, C is likely the answer:

Yes I have something different. Will take a pic and post. It is hackery.

Only other thing I can think of is new pulley is not flat against water pump. Did you have this problem before you replaced the fan/pulley?

The fan has been loose since I bought the truck. I have not removed the existing pulley since I've owned it. Might still be a cause but if so it's been like that for years.

3)I thought baffles were only used on V8 radiator which was in the forward position. I don't have any, so can't help you there.

I think there is a different kind of baffle or shroud for the V8 radiator, but not sure. Anyway, these fit perfectly w/ my 230 radiator mounted in the lower rear position, and it *appears* the fan clears all equipment without a spacer but based on another member's feedback I am going to confirm before I fire things up.
