Recommendations for electric fan for a 5.0

[410Fortune]

Why do you think this is so?

Many of the Jeep guts we wheel with have electric fans and no problems. My son has one on his '05 Titan 4x4 with no problems, and mine have always performed flawlessly even while towing.

Yes I understand that, I also believe that with my new setup and even bigger engine dual electrics would work fine.

Crawling in low range = low to high rpm's constantly, but the kicker is a very heavy load on the drivetrain. Now mine would cool fine, until I hit a hill, loose gravel, get stuck and rock it, etc. But once it would climb past 215 it was all over....just keep climbing.

The numbers dont add up I understand, I mean the good electric fan pulls way more CFM then you should ever need. Something about the plastic side tank 2 core HD raditor unit? the ford grill? Inature of the OHV? dunno. I never did figure it out, I was even a 5 speed and ran a 180 thermo with a 10" fan mounted up front as a pusher to help, still NO beuno. Sucked too because I loved the feel of no mech fan on the engine. I tried the same setup again when I went to an auto with a new radiator and large trans cooler, still same thing.


Many others on this forum experienced the same thing, including Rick.

I kept the fans, I will use them on something (maybe my 5.0L?) would be fun to try. My coolant temp does not move now with the Ron Davis rad.

I hear what you are saying, it just does not make any sense to me for the reasons you explained.

Because you have never talked about nor posted pics of your off road adventures, is unlike you not to do so.
