Default Re: LT5 Cooling and Radiators

Some results of my cooling test last Saturday in the Indio California area.

Outside air temp was 110-112°F
A/C on all the time. Highest coolant temp I saw when idling or driving in traffic was 208°
Once I entered Interstate 10, cruising at 75-80 in sixth, A/C on the ECT went down to 192°.
As the outside air temp, dropped below 100°, the ECT began to drop as well.

I have a Fluidyne radiator, a nine-tube Fluidyne oil cooler and use straight water for coolant.
