Hello again.
As my build progresses i am looking at upgrades. Once again this is an 86 k10 sb 350 mild build. The truck has a 3'' body lift & I intend to keep it, I know a lot of guys don't like them, But I do & have addressed a lot of the issues that come with that. I've had it in the truck since 1988. Anyway, I've had over heating issues because the lower fan shroud has to come off for the body lift. the truck is fine going down the road but gradually gets hot while stopped or moving slow. I am also running Evens waterless coolant which tends to run hot. I've been looking at putting an aluminum radiator & electric fan kit in & eliminating the clutch fan. I like the clean look of no clutch fan and stock shroud. I have read where a high output alternator may be needed.
I'm looking for anyone who may have used any of the brands out there like Frost bite, Brothers truck, summit Ect.
Frost bite looks to be the best & most Expensive.
Looking for recommendations Good & the bad.
Thanks
