WTF? You're assuming there's a high pressure buildup in there that the fan can't keep up with. Cutting large holes in the shroud behind the radiator sounds like a terrible idea to me. Your main fan is going to be pulling air through those instead of the radiator.

No, he said to cut the shroud in the places that prevent you from removing the top cover of the shroud without taking off the top hose and oil cooler hose.

Remember, we had that conversation before??? You suggested that I cut the shroud in order to allow it to be lifted off without taking any of the hoses off.....for cleaning purposes.

I made those cuts on mine just Saturday after changing my radiator out for a new one.

IF I am wrong about what he is saying...sorry for that...that is how I interpreted what he suggested

I did both. Making those R&R mods really makes things go smooth. Did you notch the hood support area and remove the small cross part under the water neck? I opened up the top on each side of the fan as well. Also I didn't install every fastner. The two under the air filter seemed to be extra weight same as the engine side fasteners. Less weight and less time R&R. I think this may be my last season with A/C though.
