overcharging? overheating

[PurpleBeeper]

like i said not my car, it had a 35 amp alt, and a 4 core ( I think ) alum rad with NO shroud and mech fan. overheated in traffic, slow speeds, so he put on the twin puller fans, but they draw too much and alt could not keep up.

Yeah....first step, add a fan shroud. It helps with low speed driving A LOT

ok, so, he's gonna pull the elec fans, go back to the mechanical fan, add a shroud and see what happens !
