here is one that may scare some
running without the fan...
currently for the past 3 weeks i have been running with may cooling fan sitting on my back seat. i have only just got my odometer working again a few days ago so i dont know the actual improvements yet.
what i do know is that i got three more days out of my tank. i have a very routine rout that i take to and from work. it used to be that i would fill up about every two weeks. the last tank gave me two weeks + 3 more days. new odometer tells me this is 75 more miles.
i will have to run this for a few more weeks to see what it comes out to.
now i know some of you are thinking "you must be nuts, running with out your cooling fan" but i assure you that this is safe under the right conditions
i rarely tow or haul loads, this is my DD. the temps have never exceeded 190 degrees. even when idling in traffic. i dont know if this will still hold true in the summer but with the fan within arms reach and easy to install, i will run this for a bit longer to see the results
so far i love how much quieter the engine sounds with out that thing whipping up all of that air under the hood.
