The fan shroud is working great.... I went on a snow run and the only time it would start to overheat is when the front bumper was 100% packed with snow. In the picture below it was still running at normal temperature and I would consider it 95% packed. you can see the hole in the snow on the driver side where the fan was still getting air flow. there was also another small air flow hole on the passenger side. and if you looked in those holes you could see a large cavity behind the winch that was also snow free. As long as those passages stayed clear, the motor would keep cool. before the fan shroud it would only take a couple inches of snow on the top surface of the bumper before the motor would start overheating. I also ran it pretty hard going up the mountain to get to the deep snow and it stayed nice and cool. So I'm extremely happy with the results.



Now the only other issues I'm fighting is my OBA belt. My brackets are slightly off and these flat multi-rib belts are not as forgiving as the v-belts are for how much misalignment they can take. So far I've trashed 3 OBA belts and one alternator belt..... That should be fairly easy to fix, just have to rework the main bracket some.

That and I'm not real happy with the gas mileage. this last snow run I got 6.4 mpg. I usually get around 10 mpg on the typical trail run. And on the freeway driving at 70 mph for 300 miles, I averaged around 13.5 mpg. I was told that I should be getting around 16 mpg on the highway....
