Adding a 2nd Electric AC fan help cool condesor
1998 Durango 5.9L Automatic RWD
I tried doing a search, but did not get much results, I am new to the forum and maybe I did not search properly. If you can guide by telling me a search topic to enter in the search lineI would be grateful.
I already have a factory electric fan that cools radiator and ac between radiator and engine. I am looking to keep the original electric fan. I just installed a new motor.
Looking to add a fan in front of a/c condensor. The clearance is limited and I will not have time to test fit the fan since the car will not be with me when I go to buy the fan. I have seen Hayden fans, but would prefer a recommendation from someone who has had good luck with either a Hayden or other brand.
I would consider 2 small fans or a single large fan. I have read I will need relays to install the fan also.
Any recommendations on Electric fans. Extreme temps is not letting me enjoy the ac. If you can point me to a post where someone did this mod I would be grateful.
Thank You

1998's did NOT come with a electric fan, they where not added till 2000+models. You must mean the mechanical fan that is driven by the engine.
Only way to add a E-fan without removing the factory fan is to switch your cooling system to the 2000+ one. I will all swap over but you will need to switch the radiator, a/c condersor, upper and lower hoses and the shroud. Doing this will move the radiator back a few inches to allow for the fatory electric fan.

I bought the vehicle with an Electric fan, may be previous owner did a Swap ? I bought the 2000 Style radiator and shroud and radiator hoses, but did not get the condensor and Transmission cooler lines. I decided to go back to trying an thin fan in front of AC condensor. Any recommendations ?
Thanks
