I hear you dude, but I was simply saying that "plowing" all that air isn't driving up your MPGs.

i went to electric fans a couple years ago, and i think that the truck revs much easier now. i also went to underdrive pulleys and a new PCM at the same time, so the actual gain of the fans is unknown.

anybody have or like a flex fan. i was pondering getting on to replace the clutch fan. i kno flex fans are nowhere near as good as elec fans but they do flatten out at high rpms and require less force to turn than the stock.

i used one on the mirada for a while...its a very very cooling running 340, and in traffic with the flexfans, it got a little warmer than it does with the electric fans.

As long as you're moving they are ok but at idling for a while especially in the summer months you're engine will get hot.
