Will the stock radiator fan keep the radiator cool without the shroud?One of my twin electric fans went Rogue and cut the wire on the next fan and knocked off all but 2 of it's blades. and it still knocks itself.

Radiator needs a flush bad, I'm gonna go search now, but does the thermo NEED to come out?

Waterpump is still leaking, gotta take it out and either get it resealed or get a new one. hope it only needs to be resealed.

Just had a thought, will a DE waterpump work in a DET?

you shoud have no problem with over heating, if you have a good 50/50 coolant mixture.

so a DE waterpump should work?

It's mostly the waterpump leaking that's causing my cooling. That combined with a dirty radiator. So the fans were wired to come on with the ignition to keep the system cool before it got hot.

Just need to confirm that a DE pump will work.and I WISH I could get water wetter. hmmph.
