454 Overheating... by Ray Francisco
Post New Message I just bought a 1988 Chevy 1 ton with a 454 motor and the first time pilling my 27' 5th wheel I had overheating problems.
The new radiator that was put in is only a 2 row with the engine coolant,oil and tranny being cooled by it. In front of the
radiator there is cooler for the a/c. It looks like I need to redo this setup. I was planning on buying the bigger 4 row
radiator and a new clutch fan.I was considering adding additional electric fans in front of the radiator and possibly one
directed down in the engine compartment to draw out hot air. I had also considered venting the wheelwells for additional cool
aair as to reduce the interior engine compartment temps. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to set this up. I really
need to keep the temps down as I do alot of hill climbing.

Thanks,
Ray
