I need to work on my fan and would like to go ahead and put on electric fans. I was wondering what fans had worked for everyone.
If you guys could post what fans, models, part numbers, or what it came off of. Then we could make a list of electric fans and possibly add it to the parts list so it is always available. So if you guys that have done the electric fans could let us know what you have used and we make a list I would appreciate it.

I just bought a set of S blade cooler fans, used some alum angle and made a bracket for it, I then used a temp sender a relay for it, they work really well, unloaded anyways. Long trip planned next week in the heat so we can try that out. with the new injectors I can heat it up really, really fast.

FWIW, several have tried electric fans and while they may have worked for an unloaded truck in hot weather...none have worked when pulling a heavy load and while working the truck in hot weather. It would be great to find a setup that did work (short of the $500 US Gear fan clutch that is no longer available) as I would like the extra horsepower in the summer.

mine seems to work really well, truck weighed in at 8500lbs, scaled it actually. hot as hell too 100+*, very mountainous here in BC too, teh engine stayed one letter above where it usually sits haulign up hills the pyro hit 1600+ once racign a Honda up a hill, those new injectors really haul ass.
So far I like them but no IC yet and no heavy haulign yet either, but they blow lots of air sittign still.
