The one marked D3TA-CA

Yay, if I can't find that, looks like an electric fan conversion or is there anything else i can do

Make your own out of sheet metal or stainless steel

Sounds fun haha... I will go figure something out, there are bunch of recycling places or pull and saves

You overheating? I haven't run a fan shroud in I don't know how long...

I made one for the one truck I had. You have to have them for inspection here. took maybe 30 minutes to fab one up.

I wonder if having the A/C condenser on the front blocks just enough airflow that these trucks heat up a bit more. Than if you add a tranny cooler on the front also, that will block even more air. I'm thinking about using an electric fan setup because at an idle with the A/C running, I just don't get enough air flow.

But having a shroud will help some regardless.

yeah i over hear in about 99 degree weather when im idiling for a while, it takes a good bit but i was in a construction zone and the temp creeped up. Moving back to Cali i want one on there to make sure it doesn't happen.

I sold that truck a few years ago. Sorry no pics of it.
It was simple sheet metal nothing fancy and painted flat black.
