Be mindful of road conditions. Last time I drove that way, I-10 in Miss. and La. were less than optimal.

Happy Trails

May be I missed that somewhere/ Do you run the back AC via an inverter of the 12 Volt?

Be safe, Johan

those vans always seemed to have efficient radiators.. , i had an 86 Cargo van with a 350 in it.. and only time I really ever heard the fan clutch was if Igot stuck in traffic and idled with its A/C on for awhile.. id hear the fan clutch run for 20 seconds or so after I took off.
