So, after reading many threads about the upgrades people have done to their cooling systems, I have found two that still remain in debate; the all electric fan vs mechanical fan setup and the 3 row radiator vs the 2 row radiator. So, I figured it would be good to setup a poll and let the people vote.

The answers are simple; four choices retaining to possible setups with each component:

Mechanical/E-fan setup with 2-Row Radiator
Mechanical/E-fan setup with 3-Row Radiator
All Electric Fan setup with 2-Row Radiator
All Electric Fan setup with 3-Row Radiator

Let's see which comes out on top. Feel free to discuss any opinions.

 

I am running the Mechanical/E-fan setup with 3-Row Radiator on my 91. I replaced everything including the head gasket to resove overheating issues with no luck. I finally ordered a 3 row from radiatorbarn.com and it has not overheated on even the hottest days in traffic.

 

I just have the factory mechanical/ electric set up with the factory radiator never goes above 210

 

Mechanical/E-fan setup with 3-Row Radiator is in my 96 works great

 

I'm runnin stock all fans with an override switch for my aux fan in my 96. Hasn't let me down yet, the day it does I'll consider upgrading to a 3 radiator.

 

Mechanical/E-Fan setup CSF 3 row, hi-flow t-stat houseing, new t-stat, new pump and hoes's.

from -20 to 90+ deg it will stay JUST under 210.. i did everything in one shot

even runing the A/C it wont get hot

 

Bone stock except for 180F t-stat. ScanGauge says it occasionally hits 215F when stopped in traffic and triple digit ambient temps.

 

im running a dual electric fan and stock radiator. Last weekend I went wheeling for 7hrs on a 92 degree day and never went over 205. running a 193 degree thermostat and a on at 195 off at 185 thermo switch to control the non fatory electric. factory electric one comes on as it would stock and have it switched just in case i get warm but have never had to use the switch

 

I personally plan on replacing my factory rad with an all metal 2 row one and eventually swapping to an all electric fan setup. I have recently been running warm and have changed the water pump, fan clutch.. however, I have a leaking exhaust header and i need a more concentrated coolant. But yeah, my vote's for 2 row rad with all e-fans

 

I am running a 3 row with 3 ten inch electric fans and it works great i installed a switch to shut them all down when doing water crossings if you dont you just keep blowing fuses make sure you put a big kickass red light in dash to let you know they are shut off or you'll end up with a blown engine from over heating my son forgot to turn them back on after crossing a water hole and overheated it bad enough to cook my
engine.

 

Mechanical/E-Fan setup with 3-Row Radiator
Works great!
