Re: Electric fan setup?

It has been my experience that advertised CFM ratings are mostly baloney - except for Spal. Spal fans pull so hard that they'll almost suck your truck down the road like a propeller on an airplane! They're worth the extra money.

You have plenty of room. Get the widest fan that will fit. Single will work fine. Mount it as high on the radiator as possible. They say S-curve blades are quieter. Thermostatic switches are convenient; you never have to worry about turning them on. They come with relay kits.

I'm glad to see you using the stock style radiator; they have lots of coolant capacity. I have a hard time getting my motor above 140 degrees.
