All right, I spent the last hour searching the archives on the subject. I just found out, althought I was suspicious, that you need to go around 160 as a normal operating temp. for a C-4. If my gage is correct, I barely go above 110, even in traffic.
I have a B&M large finned oil pan and a 12" x 12" oil cooler in front of the radiator. If I read the routing correctly, it's tranny - rad - cooler - tranny. Is this too much? The engine is running around 195-200 at idle and is sensitive to traffic. I was about to order the Hayden part's for the fan clutch upgrade to help it a little.
I was also thinking of removing the oil cooler to give the radiator more surface and run the radiator cooler only. After my reading, I have come up with these options:
A: Remove oil cooler, go stock.
B: Bypass radiator cooler but get a smaller unit to put in front of radiator.
C: Leave it alone and quit complaining.
Keep it mind I do not use the Bronco in the winter and this one only gets to see light wheeling, nothing too serious.
