The old girl always runs a bit hot. Had the radiator cleaned and block flushed. Does anyone know of a good aftermarket electric cooling fan that suits the Patrol. Tried a few places but know one seems to have anything suitable.

The factory clutch fan flows more CFM of air than most thermos
Have you checked the clutch fan hub,is it working correctly
iI the water pump efficient enuf ???
Is there water residue /molecules in the oil ???
Have you replaced the radiator cap when the radiator was cleaned
By radiator clean you talkin a hose clean out or a proper clean out by a rad shop, called rodding out
Im using EF thermos in my shorty project only becasue the factory fan wont work real good with a 4 " body lift,other wise id leave the factory set up
By hot what do you mean, just hot or boiling its head off
How long does it take to run hot ,are you towing, doin serious off road, low speed high revving work ???
To hard a question to get a correct answer ,more info needed
Theres no after market of the shelf simple bolt up thermo fans
