Re: [Chrysler300] over hearing 300's : (

Bill,

I installed a 1100 cubic-ft/min condenser fan on the front of my A/C condenser for auxiliary cooling when I had the original AirTemp system on my C. It was wired to come on when the compressor was engaged but also had a manual switch installed to activate as a “parade” fan. It works swell. I purchased it from Old Air Products in Ft. Worth, Texas. My new system has a larger parallel row condenser and we don’t need it for when the compressor is engaged. I still have it mounted with the manual switch for auxiliary parade – type cooling. Hope this helps! 300’ly, Rob Kern

has anyone tried adding one of the hot rod electric fans / I know that would be a sin to some : (

Last summer I had my 57 C in a parade and it over heated...during regular driving it is fine.

A 160F thermostat will not help your car run cooler, it will only slightly delay the onset of running hot. Assuming the fan clutch is good and the block clean, the most common reason these cars run hot is because the radiator core has poor fin density. I bought a 4 row radiator once that did the same thing - it was labeled heavy duty and all that (made by Modine) but the fin density was crap. You must use a core with very high fin density or your car will run hot under any conditions where you might use the a/c or even otherwise. I have been through this enough to know better now. Even a three row radiator with a high efficiency core will do just fine. Been there. Good cores will run you $400 or more. Cores that cost any less will not be any good.

After installing the new 4 core with shroud, 7 blade fan and 160 thermo, the 300 runs hot, close to the upper limit.

Have not driven it yet, only raised the idle to 2k, and the gauge dropped a bit to the left.

The block is a new build with 200 or less miles, clean on the inside.

The cap is a 13 #. No leaks. runs hot.

Any thing look incorrect ?

Thanks,
