Hi, my 82K5 has a four row radiator, severe duty clutch fan, spal pusher fan, which I think is 1650 CFM and I’m still easily hitting 210 in the California heat. Factory air conditioner obviously gets me there pretty quick.
If money were no option, what would your ultimate cooling set up be? I had electric fans at one point, but they must’ve been very cheap because they really didn’t do any cooling at all. Are there superior electric fans out there that will absolutely keep it cool?
 
This is what I have what works well for me in a big block crawler that was also in there when I daily drove it too.

Direct fit Be cool aluminum radiator with their matching fans and shroud with a bottle of water wetter. It has wheeled in Texas heat for many years and held temps even nose up for a while. For what it’s worth the fans are louder than the exhaust lol
 
What makes your fan clutch “severe duty” other than the name? Are you sure it’s physically different than a typical HD unit?

How many blades on the fan?

Do you have the correct shroud on it?
