  • Is a Fan Shroud Needed When Installing Electric Fans In a Sandrail
  • Whether or not you will need a shroud depends on how you are building the sandrail. If your rail is going to be open air, a fan shroud probably will not be needed to aid the cooling process.

You could probably even go a bit smaller depending on how much airflow your radiator will be getting....

Generally speaking, the larger the cooler the better the cooler performance. A stacked-plate cooler is the most efficient...

  • How To Tow With The 1994 Chevrolet Suburban
  • The best place to get the best information of towing capacities and limitations is in your owner's manual. According to my research the towing capacity of your Suburban hitch has a towing capacity of around 10,000lbs. Please confirm this with your manual and GM before towing. Subtract GCWR from GVWR to determine towing capacity. In regards to the concerns about the transmission, I am going to recommend a transmission cooler to keep it cool while trailer towing. Since your Suburban is already...
