so I bought a dirtbound 3fan shroud for 50$ 3cheap ebay 10" fans for 60$ and a duel fan control off of summit racing for like 30$ got rid of all the stock crap and ran one fan off the on the stock e fan plug and thhe other two on the duel fan control that's really it ..

 

How big of an aftermarket alt. and battery are you using now to support those. I have a single large one on my race car and the wife's 96 Mustang with a 572 ci. BBC in them plus electric water pumps. Both of them have 160 amp alt's and large batteries in the trunk/spare tire area. These fans aren't cheap but work quite well in both cars neither of them being DD though


I'm still wondering why all the extra cooling is needed with a new mostly stock cooling system, how many people have this problem after winch install?

 

Electric fans are not a solution to highway overheating. The amount of air that should be flowing through the radiator at highway speeds is much higher than any fan can provide.

More than likely the OP's winch/bumper combo is diverting airflow above and below the chassis instead of creating a high pressure zone in front of the radiator.

One potential solution might be to add shroud plates on the sides of the grill that stick out enough to divert air towards the radiator.

 

stock alt and an red optima battery but I'm getting ready to upgrade to a 160 amp alt and a yellow top deep cycle for the winch and lights

 

Don't forget a HD wireing kit, its a must if you upgrade kellyswipe.com a member sells them a lot of us use them, great HD kit.

 

After doing some more testing, I'm fairly certain the air flow is my problem. Only thing left to check is the water pump. Call me lazy but I'm not pulling it apart right now to check the fins since a rarely ever drive it on the highway anyways. Its basically just an offroad rig and it doesnt have this problem when wheeling.

 

I got jons 1awg master kit already.
