Default Thank you Ron Dewitt

Guys I bought a Dewitts radiator and for some reason the radiator from Dewitts was about 2 inches wider than my stock one was. His radiator was made correctly but for whatever reason my existing radiator was 2 inches smaller than stock. Anyway Dewitts worked with me and went out of their way to make sure I got what I needed to make the new radiator work. Well this weekend I finally found time to wire up the electric fans and I removed the pill and spring from my thermostat but kept the housing to slow down the water flow. Well tonight I started up my car and in about 5 minutes I was at 150 and about 5 minutes after that the gauge hit 190 and the fans came on and with the car sitting in the shop running at about 1200 rpm the new radiator not only held it`s own but the fans would actually pull the temp down to around 170 and cycle off. Ron Dewitt you are da man. Thanks
