Alright, so before I had my AC charged, car would stay at 175-180 degrees crusing through city or on highway never above 180, and oil temp about the same.
Finally got my ac charged and it blows ice cold, but my temps climb to about 190+, even on the highway and both fans on. Am I missing something? Tried searching on it. Do I need to run a clutch fan, or a 3rd electric fan?
Any input would be great,
Thanks in advance

Add another E-fan for the the AC condenser, wire up a relay and tap off the AC compressor signal wire to turn the relay on/off so it'll only be on when with the AC.

If that doesnt work, take the E-fans out, slap the stock shroud and clutch fan on. That was the only way my shit stopped creeping up to 100 with the AC on and stuck in traffic.

Thanks for the input man, that was my second option until I remembered that my DIF has a option for AC Hooked the wire up and took it for a 1/2 hour drive and temps didn't go higher than 185F with ac on full blast.. Thanks again man.
