electric, stock or flex fan, what is the best to use????

[ProjectAviator]

I have an electric fan on my 95 XLT, getting rid of the stocker. Today while wheeling the electric( biggest advance sells) wouldn't keep it cool. It got to 250 a couple times, normal with driving it runs between 150-190.

Should I:
keep the electric( I need to check for proper air flow orientation)
yank the electric and put the stock one in
yank the electric and put in a quality flex fan.

I know that not having a dedicated tranny cooler(only cooler the 95-96 have is in the radiator) isn't too good for the heat problem, I am just waiting to install an aux cooler I have.

What e fan are you running?

I am a strong advocate of e fans. I currently use one ( http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140251&highlight=electric+fan ) and have never had any cooling issues with it. I would never go back to anything but an e fan.

Al, I am using the larges one that Advance auto sells 16" I think. I got it off ebay so I am not absolutely sure I have the blades in the correct direction. It should be nice tomorrow I am planning on checking it.
