Oh ok...so its the fans. Of the two fans, which fan is for the radiator ?

Can I install a switch to where I can turn the fan on whenever I want to ?


Craby, I didn't have to remove the oil cooler.

Ok, I bled the coolant lines today. There is one by the alternator, and the thermostat. The one by the alternator had a lot of air in it. Once I did that, I took it around the block and now the temp fluctuates between a half a centimeter past halfway and a little below.

air damn is the plastic skoop under the front bumper. helps to direct air through the radiator.

Is that why it's there? I could have sworn it was there simply to scrape the ground every time you pull out of a driveway. Dang thing is so bloody low
