Specialty Chevy 88-93 electric fan kits?

WHY ?

why would you want to spend the $$ ?

why replace what works ?

Probably for that extra 0.36 HP the electric fan supposedly "frees" up!

Hi TransSurgeon:

Nice to see you back!

Refinish King

So how does one fix a clutch fan that's not working properly, -very hard to turn/spin when cold or in other words the motor is working all the time spinning it.

Dave

my clutch fan hasnt worked for 2 years, and when it did, it did nothing to stop the truck from overheating when it's 90F outside and you're stopped a really long stop light or at drive-through that was moving slowly. Honestly, ive been driving it with no active cooling for this long, and ive gotten by -- yeah, that stock clutch fan does a lot, eh? Yeah, right.

So, why replace something that doesn't work with something that doesn't work? I couldn't care less about the additional horsepower.. if i wanted that, I wouldn't have a stock engine with no modifications whatsoever.

So, i guess none of you have ever seen this kit. Oh well. I guess i dreamed it up. Ill have to figure out how to mount some electric fans and wire it all up myself :(

Thanks

danke

uhh.. go to NAPA and buy a new one?

Nah! That would make too much sense Bret!

Doc

If you buy a dual fan setup pulling at LEAST 4000cfm's, get one with a thermostatic switch. All she needs is +12V and ground and the switch will do the rest.

It's not so much that we don't know where to get them, or that we have'nt seen them, or that we don't want to help you.....

as much as it is that.......

we were jest wait'n to see if you came up with some smart arse comment somewhere later in the thread, that would verify what we suspected........

yer jest to smart to need any help.

so......

wire that rascal up there dude.

and if'n you need any help in the future... apologize to GG.....or yer liable not to get any.

Or get an electric fan kit. Hmm... maybe that would make too much sense eh?

Dave

SURE !

Convert mechanical power to electricity, then convert it back, losing about

new fan clutch ~ $40... elec. fan kit ~$400.... nope doesn't make much sense at all. if you buy the HD fan clutch, it'd solve your problems for 1/10 the cost.

-Bret

not to mention the loss in converting to electricity and back..............

Doc, thanks. That's the sort of thing I was hoping to get if the kit didn't exist, which i guess it doesnt. I'll have a look around at fans and make sure to get some that blow 4000+cfm. That is 4000cfm for both right? Not each? Thanks for the tips :)

-smoothmilk

look for "flex-o-lite" I think its called, they make kits

Yes, 4,000 cfm combined airflow. Most dual fan setups are universal fit so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding one that fits right. I'd still recommend a mechanical fan clutch as the mech fan pulls a helluva lot more air than the electric kits do.
