[QUOTE="JEEPenn, post: 439353, member: 21230"] Yes when I installed it I took special care to make sure that it was blowing air through the condenser and not the grill. When the AC is on the condenser gets extremely hot especially when the temperature outside is hot and the humidity is very high. Like I mentioned I recall the condenser fan originally blew pretty hard and you could hear it pushing the air through the condenser when it was on. I now notice that there is literally very little fan sound. My thoughts are that if the condenser fan is just lightly blowing air through the extremely hot condenser onto the radiator that it would GREATLY reduce the ability for the radiator to cool down the engine coolant. This actually makes sense because if I run the heater (basically a miniature radiator) it brings the engine temperature down a good 20 degrees. There is no super heated air blowing on the heater core and makes it more efficient even though it is much smaller than the radiator. I will know if that theory is correct in a couple days! [/QUOTE]
