Well, so now is time for some serious improvement of the cooling system. Have properly sized new cooler and also will switch back to the mechanical fan (not genuine, but size is OK).

As one wise man on the forum had advised I finally drilled small holes in the lowest part of the exhaust system.
Got one shot of black water out of it, so this improvement definitely works
Thanks Michael

Wow! Well done. How it works? Better efficiency? What kind of muffers you have installed in your Carrier?

Yes Adam, bigger is always better
There are some custom made inox mufflers from the previous owner. Ugly, but will last forever
