Default Another question: electric fans

I want to replace my fan with an electric fan kit

what is the best kit to go with, or should I get a single 16" electric?
Is there a kit for our trucks?

this is a 94 318

thanks again..

I found several made by the same company they look pretty solid to me thinking about getting one myself. I noticed in one of the other postds that "Sneezer said "Get a junkyard fan out of a Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique. It is a dual fan unit that is slim enough to work in our trucks. Ditch the stock clutch fan and wire up the electric in its place." You might ask him about that.

I got the Flex lite 16 in from shucks and it works great, just leave your stroud on there and fan in. be carful though don't go for less than the flex lite, hayden makes one that suposedly works for small v8s but i had one on my v6 and it overheated constantly (if you look at the air movement the flex lite moves over 2000 but the hayden moves like 1200). it should cost about $120.

Get a dual fan unit from a Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique. It will fit. Same goes for the dual fan from a 98-03 Intrepid. I think you can also use a dual fan unit out of an early/mid 90s Camaro.

Get a relay and temp sensor form the autopart store. Wire it up yourself. It will probably save you like $50 instead if buying a prewired kit. Google it to find a wiring diagram.
