That is good news. I wasn't looking forward to the shipping costs on something as large as a rad.

Thanks.

I found out the parts place my sister works for carries the Spectra Premium Rads and had 3 of the CU2136 (two row) rads in stock so I picked one up last weekend.

Still haven't picked up the Spal controllers yet but soon.

Still trying to figure out if I need to run a dedicated temp sensor for the Spal PWM-V3 or if I can tap into the "factory temp sensor on the intake manifold near the T-Stat" that Patman mentioned. I might just have to try it and see as I can't find anyone that has done it.

I was trying to find the Spal PWM-V3 on eBay and had no luck. I found a thread on a Mustang site and the user claims they have been discontinued as of December 2011. Even Spals own website shows the unit but you can't purchase it there. I haven't seen anything about what they are replacing it with.

So I just ordered from Summit:

PAC-2700 duel fan controller with the extra 70 amp relay and temp sensor.
1.75" Flexalite in line hose adapter.

I could not find anyone that had anything bad to say about the PAC-2700 unit. I would have liked a soft start feature and mounting it inside the cab is going to be more work but if it doesn't fry itself on me it will be worth it. I still haven't put the new two row rad in so I will do it all at the same time when the parts arrive. Camping season is upon us again so there is a sudden need to get this done. I will try to get some pictures of the install.
