Radiator Fan

06-12-1999, 12:02 AM

I go to school in Texas and it gets really hot. The AC works all right when I'm on the highway, but around town, it doesn't work as well as I'd like it to. I've been thinking about putting a fan in front of the radiator that I could switch on for city driving. Since there's a post that effectively splits the radiator in two, I'd probably have to actually use two smaller fans. Does anyone know where I could get a couple small fans like this? Has anyone tried anything similar?
Thanks,

I know my local autoparts store sells those small fans, and they have a thermostat-thingy that activates the fans when the radiator reaches a certain temp. They should help your situation, as long as your AC is at full charge, since a leaking AC is less effective as well. Hope that helps.
