Re: 23 Series - Overheating 288 engine

On some of our recent 92 degree days, in single-lane construction traffic, my gauge reads up to "just below" the Hot mark, which I am pretty pleased with.

My 22nd Series 288's fan is less than 1/2 inch from the radiator. I've thought about mounting some sort of shroud on it, but have lately decided that I'm probably OK.

I have just changed from a 180 to a 160 degree thermostat which brings the normal operating temp down to just above middle on the temp gauge. The 180 degree thermostat had been maintaining it at close to the Hot mark at all times.
