alex37211 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Imagine if you will...........90 degrees outside and you're stuck in traffic on the interstate because of an accident. Sure, your coolant has a large area to dissipate heat, but you're not moving and your coolant gets hotter....and hotter...there's hardly a breeze at all that day and it's coming from behind your car. Your radiator fins are getting hotter...and hotter....your coolant begins to boil as your temperature gauge skyrockets.....you get scared and shut the ignition off, but then traffic starts moving but you don't want to run your engine again with those temps, so you get out and attempt to push your car off to the shoulder and call for help. All of the sudden, an angry, road-raged driver gets so frustrated from being stuck, that he floors it around the car in front of him an BAM! You're dead......because you didn't install a radiator fan. ps: hence not hints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
