Re: 4-6-7-fan blade

[Schuyler Wrobel <sky62@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

my car tends to heat up in traffic because of the trans/torque  
converter loading up against the brake
while stopped. putting it in neutral helps. but a trans cooler before  
the radiator, I think would be the best
thing to do, to stay cool in that slow stop'n wait, then go a little  
type traffic. that's my take on it anyway
cuz soon as I start moving again it starts to cool down.
