New 12" fan kit
The 2009 Revolt has one change to it, I like. A 12" radiator fan, instead of a 10".
I've had the Over-Temp light come one once or twice. This will cause the ECM to go into limp mode. It retards the timing and enriches the air/fuel mixture.
If you keep going it will shut down the engine.
I had Red Rock Rails get me the kit. It includes the shroud and 12" fan.
The shroud is removed by drilling out the pop rivets.
After a trip to Lowes for rivets, it was back in.
Test Drive:
I went for a ride, in the hills above my home. The thin air doesn't cool as well, so if I push it hard enough, it should over temp. At first I thought the fan wasn't coming on, because I couldn't hear it. But it never went into over temp.
I finally stopped, got out, and held the throttle at 4000 rpm and watched for the fan to come on. It came on and it's so quiet, that I couldn't hear it over the engine noise. It moves a lot of air!
I'll test it at the dunes next week.
