Has anyone fitted the Flex a Lite alu radiator with 16" fan (part #52388) to the 3.8 V6?
Is it a worthwhile upgrade ?
Looking at going whole hog on this....HPS silicone hoses, new trans oil cooler and considering using Evans Water less Coolant (just intrigued to see if it does what it says).
Any thoughts appreciated before I drop a load of money.....
 
Im not sure you'd need a largee electric fan here. The whole point of the flex a lites for many vehicles was to remove the belt driven fan from the equation.

Problem is Wrang that here in Dubai it is the heat that concerns me. Summer temps touch 55c (131 F) regularly and a lot of the runs I do are hard and fast big dune driving over a number of hours hence looking at up rating the cooling capacity.

Haha....sorry not meant to come across like that at all.
Just trying to work out if it is a large alu radiator and if it's worth the expense etc etc of getting it done.
Don't want to drop a load of money if it's only going to be a small difference....rather get some other goodies otherwise.
 
If everything works fine, I would start with more air flow into the engine bay! hood lover, make sure the hood heat mat is off, look into front fender liners that breath like crawler conceptz.
