Just an update. Last two weekends (Halloween and Veterans Day) I ran hard and never saw temps over 200° in spite of the 90° air temperatures. Both fans were on consistently once the engine hit running temp and didn’t shut off but the relays held strong and overheating wasn’t an issue. Just...

Great post, thank you. I’ll check on the thermostat in the morning.

The ECM trigger is activating the relays.

See above re the fans NOT being brushless. Another correction, the coolant temp sensor for the GAGE is in the thermostat housing, the ECM WTS is in the cylinder head. Notably, the gauge is consistent with what the ECM is seeing per HP tuners.

Well eff me! In the stack of receipts I got with the car they were billed as brushes from the builder in Temecula. Upon inspection they are not brushless and only have two wires coming out.

It was wired with what appeared to be Amazon relays. I have swapped both of the originals out with these that say Omron, but came in a Genuine GM baggie. We’ll see how long these last compared to the chinesenum that have melted. I can’t seem to find literature on thr amperage rating for these...

Must have missed this, it’s in the thermostat housing/ water pump outlet side. The heater loop holes were modified, one plugged and the other has the water temp sensor.

Wire (gauge), connectors and relays were all upgraded before last season and I went through two relays. The fans are new, legit brushless SPAL fans, I double checked and they’re actually 16”. I’m not feeling additional heat from the wiring or connectors, but the damn relays keep melting a pin...

I actually don’t know if it has a thermometer in the housing or not.

I don’t have any info on who tuned the computer, or who even built the engine. LS1 block with 243 heads, so I know something not stock compared to the 2000 Camaro the serial number comes back to. I think HP Tuners said the Delphi was from a S-10 too. Closing the temp gap might be a good tweak...

Just curious what an ideal temperature swing would be between the radiator inlet and outlet. My scenario is a LS1, CBR aluminum radiator with two 12” SPAL fans. Delphi computer cuts the fans in at 201 and out at 185 if I recall correctly. With the engine idling in 90° ambient air, my upper...

Same. I did Cypionate injections for about a year and a half with better total T numbers, but none of the upside I was hoping for and very poor available T. Switched to an actual HRT Dr and she put me on pellets. The first time getting them was a bit gnarly, I almost wish they could do it...

Am I missing the date on this all together?

Don’t dump their black tanks. That pollutes and stinks up your camp too. Just open the low point drain on their fresh tank so they can’t flush, shower or do dishes all weekend. Something tells me the wife will get sick of that real quick and decide to pull chocks sooner rather than later.

Thanks for your input! I should play with a shorter strap and see how much I’d lose. I’m extremely happy with the suspension as it is, it would be interesting to see what losing a couple inches of droop would do.
