[quote=chuzie] Where did you get that shroud?

If you are using a temperature probe in the radiator for the electric fan I would make sure you are not running it through the fins
No temp probe(my elec. fan is on a toggle)
2.) Keep in mind the possibility that placing an electric fan could hamper airflow to the engine mounted fan in that the engine mounted may be demanding more airflow than electric can keep up with. I can't tell you how to determine if this is the case for your setup without installing a bunch of measuring devices, but just keep that in mind if you get to the point of further troubleshooting the temperature issue.
I would think the fan would greatly increase the air flow
If you really want to get crazy you can fab a shroud to place on top of the core support to keep air from bypassing the radiator over the top. I made a quickie with some flashing from the hardware store. It worked pretty well.
I will consider that its probably cheaper. http://www.wildhorses4x4.com/product/SS_..._Radiators Maybe something like this?
Good job. Thanks for the idea of the Anode cap. I am not sure if I have one on my rig or not.I am sure Chuck will let me know . I would hate to let something like that sit even longer than it already has. I paid good $$$ for my Ron Davis too.

Oh, did you perform the electrolysis check on your radiator?
NOPE
