I have a lifted chevy silverado, 6 inch suspension and 3 inch body lift. When I did the body lift the fan shroud was relocated up this did not allow for correct cooling. I then bought a flex a lite 5500 cfm electric puller fan to replace stock fan and shroud. This worked for a little while but now I am starting to run hot again when pulling a load or when it gets over 100 degrees outside.

I was thinking about adding an aftermarket be cool radiator new hypertech 180 degrees thermostat and a new tranny cooler sinse I think the tranny getting hot maybe part of the problem.

What is your advice???
