Agreed with dsm. You are just simply putting band-aids on this problem. There is no reason there should be 3 fans on your car. Are you certain the fans are rotating in the correct order? Ive seen it happen before.

The reason I think im over heating is that my aftermarket fan just don’t flow as much air as did the factory ones. And If you look at the shroud on the stock fan and then the slim line you can see that the aftermarket fans just suck ass and can perform as good as factory.
But I can be wrong.
