Thumbs up Heating Problems Overcome

Thermatic Fan and EWP
As the owner of a 1984 Ford XE, Falcon, I’ve had numerous encounters of engine overheating when towing my boat on hot days. However, installing a Davies, Craig Electric Water Pump and 16 inch fan has worked like a charm, Installation was a tidy 3 hours . It was simply a matter of removing the existing fan clutch and blade assembly followed by the mounting of the Davies, Craig 16-inch fan to the radiator and connection of the wiring harness provided in the kit. However, with the increased energy required to tow and hence heat rejection by the engine, airflow alone is not adequate to remove the waste heat. Extra coolant flow was achieved through the installation of the Electric Water Pump (EWP) which allows full volume flow of coolant independent of the engine r.p.m. I bought the pump and controller for $450, and it has proven to be a great success with my engine temp now remaining at a constant 88 degrees.
