Does anyone know the CFM rating of the fan on these trucks? i'm looking to replace it with an electric and i'd like to match it or beat it

I've seen it before, but I cant recall.

NONE of the electric fans avalable will pull enough air to cool properly when towing. Empty you will be fine, but towing heavy you will run into issues.

I have had two friends buy the aftermarket electric fan set ups... Both are sitting in there garages or in the land fill.

If your looking for more HP, look elsewhere.

If its a race truck, remove the fan all together.

i just dont like the fan. and i think mine might be bent

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

i just read our fans pull 5900 cfm. jegs sells one for the superduty's that's 6200 cfm. i dont see one for the 94-97's so i may just test it out and adapt it. why not give it a shot. if its rated higher than our fan it shouldnt be a problem. then i can say that i have tried one made for it and if it worked or not. i'll write a review if i do it. are there any down sides to electrics though if they can pull a higher cfm?
