Why doesn't anybody run flex fans on these trucks? They have worked on American muscle for 40+ years.

I'm running an Imperial fan on my 95 Disco


I'm sure Flex-a-lite probably has one to fit also.

I would say if you have driven it, you are done. Oil pressure should be at least in the 20's and the light trips around 8psi. DO NOT START IT AT ALL until you can manually check pressure. (pull the switch and hook up a mechanical gauge.

You have blown head gaskets at the least. That much pressure would be combustion gasses. May have dropped a liner even.

Check the oil pressure for sure to rule out a bad switch, get it going good and then move to the overheat. If you overheated and drove it much, odds are the block is done.
