I had to flush my coolant this summer 3x to get it back to what it normally was at 170 degrees. It would spike to 200 sometimes but it sat for the last couple years with driving it only a handful of times. I just have the f body rad and ram chargers but added a 160 degree thermostat. I do have a front mount also. Side note I saw another video with your coolant looking black and sludgy. Last time I saw that I had a civic with a known blown head gasket where the coolant reservoir was black with sludgy oil. so I would get that check out.
Yes!!!!! You listened thank you very much!! I hate to see these cars hurt or what not. Might as well put a ***160FAILSAFE** Thermostat in because you don't drive it in the winter. Ive begged you to drive it more in the fall or winter because it will scream during those seasons. But it's ok the Camaro has better heat and air conditioning and is safer in the winter.
The fans are not going to work as designed unless they are installed in a shroud(box). They will pull air from the path of least resistance. Right now they are an inch or so from the radiator. They are mostly circulating the air in the engine bay. Even the Ram fans had a shroud. Build or buy a shroud that covers the whole radiator and your temp will drop at least 30*.
Nice job, but to need to put both fans In a shroud and they will work 10x better, also put a 160 or 170 thermostat in the car. Make sure the fans are pulling in air and not pushing it out.
I could be wrong but your rear passenger tire appears to the directional kind, and it’s mounted for the wrong direction maybe you have another one on the other side that’s incorrect and you can just swap em

GN1 PERFORMANCE has a great fan setup for the GRAND NATIONAL
I seen that, but it would have cost me $601 after shipping cost
And yes water wetter or RMI-25 from Arizona GN with distilled water, no anti freeze needed, and a 160 thermostat are musts for summer buicks

I like your videos you go through each step you take ! Keep up the great videos!
Nice bro. When you change your thermostat and coolant, use distilled water instead with a bottle of RMI-25. You'll notice the temp drop a little more.
Baffles,160 thermostat and water wetter

I was looking for a shroud that would fit when i bought the fans, but i was just going to try this first before i continue looking for one
Please shroud the fans, change t stat and add water wetter. Same advice from the video.
Please change out the thermostat to a new 160 one....

Call champion radiators and ask for a dual shroud for a chevy Monte Carlo
