Ok....well, time to set this a bit straight on cooling of the
Butler...
First....DO NOT RUN WITH THE VAN HOOD OPEN...
Butler already takes all this into account.
They modify the front air intake...change up the fan to a larger flex fan...put on a Non Thermal Fan clutch to always spinning and cooling....
They also put on a smaller alternator if really want to know things...well at least order them from the factory with smaller alternator so the Clutch for the
Butler is always straight and never need greasing.
Back to the cooling also and fan belts...they run a double belt so you don't have to worry about there being a problem with a single Serpentine Belt needing to be perfectly in line all the time and keep spinning the fan and other parts.
The fan system is meant to keep the transmission, Fuel pump, motor of course and other parts cool with that hood closed.
Butler also has a special
compound belt made to handle high heat situations...
I ran my Van in Vegas at the Mikey's
Fest pretty much wide open on high and cleaning and chugging in 110 degree heat for 3 days...4 hours each day non stop...
Butler takes into consideration all these conditions....
So I repeat....DO NOT RUN WITH THE VAN HOOD OPEN...
OK?!?!?!
