I would like to hear from anyone who's upgraded a belt driven fan to an electric fan. Was it worth the effort to gain HP, MPG or quiet the noisy belt driven fan. I may try to experiment with this as it is reversable if the results are bad. Originally I had the idea to put it on a switch but I do see they can be activated by temperature. Seems like a great cheap upgrade or isnt it?

it is worth it. especially if you go wheeling. many use the Ford Taurus fan cooler, dont remember what yrs though. IIRC it around the 95 yrs.

Works OK, eliminates the noisy clutch fan, reduces drag on the engine, but don't expect amazing results. It just helps a little bit.

Since its about 10-20 degrees here I think I can take the fan right off and go through a tank of gas driving to and from work as a test. I wont be running into any traffic but ill throw the fan in the back in case I need to put it back on if things get too hot. I doubt ill see any temperature increase under those driving conditions. I think ill be safe going fanless.
