will my electric fan idea work?
Hello all,
I have a '96 B250 Conversion Van with a new 360. I tow a camper with it
and I found that on warmer days the temp gets mighty high. At highway
speeds when the clutch on the engine driven fan kicks in, I can feel it
sapping engine power which I actually think addeds to the engine heat
problem.
What I am thinking, if I take the engine driven fan off in favor of
electrics. It will not sap engine power and the electric fans can move
air more effiencently when needed especially at idel.
What do you think?
Fred

The engine still needs to generate the electrical energy to run the electric
fan. The benefit is that the electric fan only runs when it needs
to...unlike the engine-driven fan.

NO it doesn't.
Going down the highway the air from your speed cools the engine.
You need to have the radiator flushed.
