My Burb is becomming SPOILED! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This morning , I installed her brand new heavy duty radiator, and switched to the electric fan set up. Tomorrow she gets a new set of Big O Big Foots, and bout wednesday, AIR CONDITIONING!!!!! YEAH BABY!!! All in preparation for her journey SOUTH

ME SO HAPPY!!!!!!!

Cool! But I suggest another brand tire for her. big foots have a tendency to come apart. A Buddy had 3 out of 4 tires throw big chunks of tread, he only drove on the highway and they were 235/75/15s. and one of the replacements did the same thing.
In short, Big O sucks. sorry

Well... Hopefully you didnt just jinx me!! lol

Ive run nothing but Big Os on any of my trucks for the past 9 years and have never had anything like that happen, so Hopefully their tires or my good luck holds up

Hope I didn't Jodie. Glad you've had good luck with them.

i switched my fan over to two electric's a few months back, one is an AUX fan,they are 16" and 12" ,when i run the 16" i run at exactly 180 and i could feel the power increase

AC? whats that? i wish i had it...

I like all the Ideas you all give in here thanks

Are you running the fans off an ignition hot or are you running stright to the battery? Reason I am asking is I am wondering what temg you set the themostat at to make them shut off and on. And how long should they run after you turn the motor off.

Also where did you put the sensor? Mine is in the top radiator hose in the radiator

Hope it all goes smooth for you - you'll be needing that AC - it's looking like a hot summer.
