Re: RIP Colin Holley

Re: Overheating in traffic

Hi Felix..if you put a high output alternator on ie the Mitsubishi one that would really help your problem if not even cure it, plenty of amps on idle is the key to get those fans running well on idle while having other things switched on at the same time :wink:
