Would it be worthwhile to replace the clutch fan with electric?
Has anyone done this to a second gen? I had put one on my 91 d150 with a 318 and it worked well.

 

this is what I've seen: FLEX-A-LITE

 

Derale Performance Dual Electric Fans

There are these as well. More CFM, less money.

 

do you tow much? if you tow often and some good weight I would not do it.

 

I don't tow often but I have, and I will in the future. If I would run the risk of overheating I wont do it.

 

getting the fan clutch hub off is a P.I.T.A I finally had to break down & buy a fancy $95.00 tool. how many shadetree mechanics have a 36mm wrench on hand

 

if it pulls more air then stock the way would it matter how you tow?

 

Sluggo I do. My first choice is me repairing a vintage VW so a 36mm is a must have.

BTW I used to work for Newmont in Elko then GBC. I miss Lamoille and Spring Creek.

 

wow, small world. I could see missing Lamoille, but Spring Ditch..naaaa. thru the years I have worked at Barrick & Newmont, I have a niece that use to work at GBC. Where are you at in WA?

 

it may supposedly have a rating better than the stock fan, but when you read up on them a mechanical fan just cannot be beat. I was going to go that way and talked to people who have done it and most went back to stock fan.
