Looking for pics of installed fan shroud 85-ish PU

I'm running this radiator currently with the stock fan set up in my '85, and trying to chase down a run-warm problem that has been going on for years.

It seems like maybe the way this is modified puts the fan shroud further from the radiator core than stock. I've got a pretty big gap between the bottom of the radiator and the shroud:


Just looking for photos of how the shroud fits on CSF 2 or 3 row radiators (or similar) that aren't modified for the e-fan (I think by shifting the brackets that bolt the radiator to the truck and the shroud to the radiator). Any input on other radiators (Koyo, Champion?) is also appreciated.

That looks like a CSF radiator. Could be that your radiator does not fit the shroud well. CSF 2314 and 2306 would fit the 22RE, but the 2314 would not fit one with the taller shroud. It boils down to difference in core height. Details here:

Thanks for the info. LCE states the brackets on this radiator are moved 3/8" for use with the e-fan, but that it also works without the e-fan. It comes in a CSF box; based on the core height it looks like they start with the smaller 2314 core (height is 15 3/4), remove and reweld the brackets. The stock shroud fits well in terms of height and width, it mostly lines right up with the edges of the tanks vertically and bolts right in to the bracket, it just looks like moving the brackets may move the core 3/8" further from the shroud than stock, opening up a gap especially at the bottom of the radiator.

Interestingly neither the 2314 or the 2306 are listed as suitable for the '85 pickup on the csf website:

Just the smaller core 2314 is listed for the '86 pickup, but the 2306 and 2314 are listed for '85 and '86 4-runner. I wonder what the differences are and whether the 2306 will bolt up to a '85 pickup.

Also interesting, it appears the shroud is the same part number for 4-runners and trucks for a wide swath of years starting in '85 for the upper shroud and '84 for the lower.

But for the misfit in the link RAD shared there must be a larger shroud for the larger radiator, or maybe these PN's are the larger shroud???

Well I thought I had this figured out, but it is turning into a bit of a rabbit hole. I'm thinking about getting an aluminum Champion radiator, although reviews are mixed to bad, but at least the one I want is listed for the '85.
