I searched the archives here and at other sites and looked over past discussions on this topic. Not sure i did an exhaustive search as the search function seems a little buggy but here goes.

Here's the general consensus-

- it won't do any good the energy is the same no matter where it comes from and the only reason the car makers use them is to accomidate tranverse mounted engines.

- no electric fan can move enough air to do the job.

- I tried it and it did not work therefore it's a proven non-starter

Here's what I found and what i'd like to see discussed:

- The car makers are putting electric fans in bigger rear wheel drive vehicles. I think they prefer the clutch fan for its simplicity but have to use electric in some applications to get mandated fuel economy.

- Apprently, the fans that come on some taurus's and other big Fords move 5500 CFM.

see here:

- This is a fairly popular mod among the offroad guys. They put the Taurus fan on big block modified Jeeps because they are working them hard but with not much airflow across the grille.

So, let's rip this up one more time. If someone can't point out the flaw in my logic I will look for a big ford fan next time i'm in the pick and pull and try it myself.

thanks
