Correct engine coolant temperature

You can use this to keep it on and lower the coolant temp.

My driver side does not come on with or without A/C turned on.

It should come on with a/c, maybe a bad relay? connection?

If the High presure side of the AC line never reaches 240psi then the
fan does not get told to turn on. Check to see if the AC is working.
Does it get cold? If so maybe the fan or (of fan relay) is bad?
Check connection at the fan.

my A/C definitely comes on cold. I did notice the drivers side fan was hard to turn with my hand, then it felt like it broke loose and I could turn it again. I see two relay looking things together on the left side of the fan shroud - are these the two relays?

There was probably a rock between the fan and the housing which will stall the fan motor and blow the fusible link at the connector at the rear of the battery.
Replace the link with the correct gauge wire or an in-line fuse - a 30 amp fuse will do the job. And yes, those are the two fan relays.

Actually I discovered the main cooling fan (drivers side) was siezed up. All I had to do was replace the motor (cost $31 at napa) - problem solved.

I just pulled the radiator today and boy what a surprise about 50% of the area was blocked, anyway time for a new one where is a good source to get one?

Do you want another factory one or an aluminum dual core that cools much better?
