electric fan

[dreed]

So I'm tired of my engine getting hot. I replaced the water pump, thermostat and fan clutch before the trip and it still got hot. So thanks to Austin's suggestion, I'm looking into getting an electric fan. Should I get a dual fan setup or a single? Where could I find one for not so much?

I can't believe I am going to say this on our board, but try searching...I'm not trying to be a dick, but we covered this in pretty deep detail about a month or so ago.

[dreed]

i totally forgot we had that thread. nevermind.

did you ever think about gettin your rad rodded out?

fan clutches are the devil....they create more drag on the engine and are therefore counterproductive.

I say shell out and get something that's not annoyingly loud. josh had to turn his off this weekend so he could hear me when I was spotting him.

i say go with duel fans.

It turns out my engine temps are low and i have a fan clutch. If you have the proper fan shroud (sp) your fan should work fine.

i run dual fans from autozone, they are quiet and work fine.

dan, if you're going to take the fan clutch off you'll definately need two. if you just want to add one fan that should be adequate to keep it cool.

I emailed summit racing and they suggested dual 15" fans. they were only $379.
with the fans from autozone, how much did they cost? did they come with the wiring or did you have to buy that separately?

with those intrepid fans, what year model has those?

[TXsizeK5]

had to buy wiring,fuses, and switches seperately.

it cost aroun 200 for it all I think

[bburris]

Either do that, or if you have a smaller radiator CarQuest has a fan that Blake is using that pulls really well. The p/n is 21050.

$380?!?!?!? jebus christo....fawk all that nonsense. i put mine on for right at $100 to include dual fans, switch and relay. i later dropped another $15 on a solenoid b.c. i kept burning up relays.

[dreed]

Yeah. $380. I got the email and immediately thought "wow. that is a hell of a deal!" :flipoff2:
where did you get your fans from austin?

[BigRedFord04]

ho'reillys.....hayden brand....p/n 3690....if you can fit it p/n 3700 is better
