Sounds good! If I ever get some cash freed up I'm going to do the jeep electric fan swap. Might pick up a mpg or so and at a minimum, give my motor a little bit of HP back.

I put an electric fan in my 2.2L S-10, not only did it make the truck much quieter at idle, but I picked up 1-2mpg city (saw no highway improvement, which kinda makes sense) and I could definitely "feel" the HP that was "given back" to the motor. Probably not much to feel in a 305 or 350, but in a 2.2, it's noticable

I want to add one to my silverado, but it's given me 122K problem free "stock" miles and I'm afraid to change anything under the hood. I don't want to create bad ju ju and jinx it
