The guys I know said they where never right after the lift. Creeking moaning and groaning, Mpg, speed, things broke all the time. They just were never right. The three I have as friends wish they never did the lift.
But that is just the 7 or 8 people that I know.

Jongo88

Everyone that I have known that had an s10 with 5 and 6 inch lift sold them with in months after modding them.

I'm glad you got it... Was it fun to get to???

It is on the drivers side by plug 3. It is a pita to reach.

Jongo88

I had the very same problem... I fixed it by unplugging the temp sender plug and cleanning the conection. When I unplugged it, it was not plugged in all the way. I think I knocked it loose when I changed the spark plug wires.

Jongo88

The shipping mite kill the deal but this guy has good stuff. I have bought three motors from him and they were great...
If you talk to him he comes off as a smartass but he does have good stuff.

I bought my crew used. I was wondering if there was a rubber insert for the drink holders? I don't have one and my drinks go everywhere.
My Jimmy does but it has a floor shifter.

Jongo88

Yes the yellow is the only wire hooked up. The other wire is low speed.
Does your fan have a relay box on the bottom?
Some do and some don't.

Jongo88

Looks very good. I just don't know why so much is different. But I'm so glad it worked out for you.
You should have no problems with running hot now. Mine never gets over 200 and most all the time it stays at 190 to 195.
Pulling my bass boat at 70 to 80 mph it gets up to 200.

Jongo88

It came with the vsc... You did not get one??

Jongo88

What did you tap into for connection #9, thin red wire, "Ignition Positive Signal"? looks like in the fuse box? I got it from the fuse box. I can get you the fuse I used when I get home. Also looks like you ran the ground to a ground rather then the battery, all the same. Did you do the same as Bru...

I don't know much about radiators I do know the center is for coolant.

If I have that right, how much fluid from each will be lost when the change is made? I imagi...

Pm me your e mail and tomorrow I will take some pictures on my install.
I have a hard time posting pictures on this site..

Jongo88

When you did the intake gaskets was the best time to rid the dex.
But all in all pulling a trailer in this heat 220 is not to bad for a stock cooling system.

Jongo88

The wires you need are the yellow and black. That is the high speed. The tan wire is the low speed and you don't need it. The vsc has a red and black. So the red goes to the yellow and the black goes to the black. There is a wire diogram that comes with the vsc.

Jongo88

It won't hurt anything. They just hold it from falling back.

Jongo88

Sounds like a plan. I'm getting old so I went and took the top shroud off to see how I mounted the fan again. On the new raidator the cut outs I told you about are smaller. I did not use them. I drilled two holes and bolted the fan next to where the cutouts are. A 1/4 inch hole and used two 1/4 20 3...

Yes I see the wires. Now that I look at it I remembered... See the mounting tabs on the sides? You have to cut them off. Just make a strait cut on them. Then you are good to go.

I'm pretty Cretan the fan has the lead wires, I'll post a picture from the auction. It looks like it did but was a bit shaky. I made sure to look for that.

That is the fan I have. The weight of the fan pulls down. The tong in the bottom holds it from pulling back and the bolts and washers hold the top. Then the stock shrould goes over the top to keep it from going anywhere. It has been in my truck for about a year now. I run dirt roads at 60 and 70 mph...

No angle iron.... lol. I cut the stock top shroud strait across and removed the bottom one. I cut a piece of aluminum stock 1 inch wide 1/8 inch thick and about two inch long like a tong to fit in the center hole where the bottom shroud fit. On the top of the radiator there is two cut outs about thr...

I picked the intrepid fan because it fits like it is made for our trucks. It is a duel two speed fan. Some guys like the Ford Taurus fan. It is a single two speed fan. It fits good too. The ls1 fan has to be cut down to fit. It is to big to fit fit without modding. I'm old and lazy so I went with a ...

Jongo88

It will fit just like the stock one.
Yes I think you will be good to go with just the radiator as long as your clutch is still good on your fan.... The thermostat will help too.

Jongo88

I went to an E-fan when I did the body lift. The clutch fan sitting two inches lower is just not as efficient. Every cool thing you do to your truck like Body lift, Bigger tires and tranny cooler adds more heat. The stock radiator just is not enough to cool your truck any more. When you do one mod y...

It is very easy to replace it takes about 20 min taking your time. You have seven bolts and six hoses. Very easy. With all the stuff you have done to your truck this is nothing..

Unfortunatly it was the only way to get the truck home that day, so I did what I had to do. The part I cut off and hammered are on the lower section, we only cut off maybe a quarter inch or half inch of metal on the underside, figuring that larger fender flares might cover it up. Nobody can notice ...

Jongo88

You have to drop the tank. It is under the cab. If you look between the bed and cab on the drivers side you can see it.

Jongo88

I wish you would asked before you cut up and hammerd your finders. Now it is to late to help you on the neat way to do it. What size tires do you have and what is the back space on your new wheels.

Jongo88

I live in Florida and never see more than 200. I never turn the ac off! I pull a 3,500 pound boat at 80 mph too.
But I have the heavyduty radiator and e fan.

Sounds about right with the stock size radiator.
