my 300 has overheated twice in heavy stop and go traffic. temp gauge went uo to just below the red zone, the fan kicks in, but cant bring the temp down to normal. then the engine sputters and cuts off.

i'm thinking of putting the second fan on to keep the temp down in heavy traffic. any foreseeable problems? i'm guessing maybe the 2nd fan might overburden the battery? any way to prevent that?

thanks, sirs.

Hi Heavy - read Cincinnati and Glasseye's posts above: the issue lies in the grade of the wiring and the current capacity of the fuse. You'd need to upgrade the wiring to be safe with the added current draw. Have you tried better cooling agents as someone else suggested?

yes, i'm on coolant right now. the best i can buy (according to the mech). no air in the cooling system either, it's been bled a few times. i also use fully synthetic engine oil.

i'm out of ideas. that's why i'm thinking of putting on a second fan.

oh yeah, thanks for the tip on the wiring and the fuse.
