Did you ever get the cooling issues resolved?
I am not a fan of grille blocks because I had some scary moments of near overheating when the weather and or traffic changed plus once a fan controller failure forced me to pull over. |
Not so much due to the grill block, but in general just to direct all the incoming air to the radiator.
The cooling issues got resolved with a new radiator/coolant flush. After pulling the old radiator I back-flushed it and got some nastiness out. The fans would only kick on if stuck in traffic with the new radiator/coolant.
That car is long gone, one day the trans decided it didn't want to disengage the parking pawl when I put it in gear (my best guess anyway). It had been sitting for about a month due to a seized AC compressor so I suspected the brakes were sticking when I tried to back up. Gave it some gas, heard/felt a big clunk, and ended up with trans fluid on the driveway.
