bed mounted radiator project
ok i have the 4.0 out of an explorer. i keep getting rocks, sticks and other things going through my radiator when i go desert riding with friends. so in the case i want to move it to the rear.now i have done some research and found copper tubing the way to go and that i need an bleeder valve in he system. but my questions are should the fans push or pull the air through the radiator and will the stock pump do all the work or do i need to get another pump. now i read copper tubing was the way to go but dont know the size could not find the answer.

Give it some thought, im sure you can figure it out. Then YOU can tell us how to do it and earn the right to say we suck.
Oh btw, i have the answers you need. Good Luck

**hint** whether you go push or pull, when driving forward what way is the air flowing? Make the fan flow the same direction

Yes there is. Ever gone down the highway and have something fly out of the bed? Air flow..
As your driving a little vaccum is somewhat created that pulls air towards the tailgate. If you have your fan pulling/pushing towards the cab, your actually fighting against it, and will not flow as well.
He's driving fast out in the desert, on the rocks i can see it not making a difference. Even in mud you want it near the cab pulling to the rear. Less mud and dirt will get sucked in.
