Default Cooling system maintenance results

Yesterday after a lot of back and forth on the forum this is what I accomplished

New Aux Fan Relay 15 Minutes
New Low Temp Aux Fan Switch 1 hour (had to change pigtail)

4:00 AM this morning...woke up. I knew I had one more thing to do and I wouldn't rest til it was done. went out and pulled radiator, cleaned, straightened fins. Blew out the AC condenser.(the cavity was filled with stuff) Added Redline Water Wetter, dropped Antifreeze Mixture to about 25 percent 3 hours

RESULTS

Aux Fan Works
Aux Fan comes on at 193
System runs about 20 degrees cooler than before

Thanks to the tech tip by Lars Grimsrud for radiator cleaning...made the job much more understandable.

Also thanks to the other formum members that put up with my constant questions, but the job got done and it got done right.

:flag :steering: :cheers:
