If this is the wrong PN, we need to know that.
What PN did you get????
Looks like it's wrong. Thats the PN I ordered. I got it from rock auto under the 3.7 dropdown. rock auto didn't have a shroud listed for the crd no matter what year I put looked under. I would post pics if I had a pic sharing account online......but I don't. The main difference between the shrouds is the the two tabs with holes that are for bolting to the rad. on the one I ordered the tabs were a full 2 inches higher so I wouldn't be able to bolt it down. I also think the new one is thicker but I didn't look that close after seeing it wouldn't bolt up.
So here's another update. I drove it from Denver to Ft Collins this afternoon in 85-90 degree temps. My new fan without a shroud is barely better than the crappy stock set up. It still got warm but never actually reached red, and I could shut off the a/c and downshift to drive to get the gauge to drop a little. I then washed the rad at the car wash as a hail mary. Before I got back on the interstate I stopped by NAPA and bought new pressure cap. The one the salesman gave me is a 16 lb. The old one is a 5 lb. Now it runs just below 3/4 at interstate speeds. If I run the a/c it passes 3/4 and climbs very slowly. I would turn off before it red-lined. I really believe that the higher pressure cap has helped a lot. And I am hopeful that a fan shroud will solve my problem completely when I come up with one.
What pressure do you run on a radiator cap? What came on them factory? Does altitude make a difference?
And thanks again for the socket trick! It worked great.
