I'm hoping that the intercooler will actually help on coolant temp. If the EGT's go down, there should be less heat transferring into the coolant.........Right?......................
Well I'm not convinced yet either.............But my next project might be putting a 2nt gen Radiator in (Since I allread have the 2nt gen cooler) or maybe just a intercooler radiator, housing and hoses.

moving the battery tray around isn't an issue , when i first got the truck i was seriously considering clipping the windshield posts , and across the floor just a hair in front of the rear door posts , then welding in the same section out of a club cab , then finding a short box to replace the long box .
i have to replace alot of stuff , and while i could replace it all with stock stuff , then possibly end up changing it out latter , or just maybe find what you guys have changed out , and seriously consider that from the begining .
also i don't know how this might affect things , but i would like to use a '77 powerwagon grill and hood .
i've been wanting to dig in and take some more pics , but it snowed another 8 inches last night and burried everything ... again !!!**&&*%^%

Here is the numbers just in case you are interested!
[b]Upgraded OEM Fan and Fan Clutch
Dodge has issued an updated Fan which has more twist on the blades and is lighter. If you plan on upgrading your fan clutch, I strongly suggest you also upgrade to this new fan. Again, this is an OEM component from MOPAR.
Fan- 52028653
Clutch module- 52028760
It's lighter and stronger (the fan)
As of 3 mouth ago, when i bought mine(which i can't use)they were still available.
