I have adjustable louvers. i will adjust them out. It had been suggested to check the fan shroud, as some classics with 8V82s, had a less than optimal shroud..
Attached is a picture of our shroud. I don't think this particular one can be improved on.
Very interesting link in the above comments, of a company that manufactures forced fan intake assemblies.
1800 rpm has been my red line. I don't know why I thought 1800 rpm was max, but I am sure that 2000 rpm on hard pulls will help. When the radiator was in need of a steam cleaning, I had a 15 mph 1st gear, 1800 rpm pull in Las Vegas in July . I was shocked that the radiator could loose so much capacity in 15000 miles. We now clean it seasonally with the Radiator Genie and dawn soap.
The pyrometer is non op on this coach. I am on the fence on getting it repaired. Any thoughts ?
We attached a picture of the shroud/fan assembly. Notice all the surface rust from de greasing it, and a very wet winter in the Rockies and South Carolina. Kind of embarrassing !
