The plant my dad works for does make radiators and a.c. coils. Well I dont have to put it on now. But I have a intake and underdrive PULLEYs on the way and a block heater, a trans cooler, a oil cooler, a fastman TB, and new thermostat to put on and I dont want to take all the stuff off my truck put it all back on and then have to take it off to put the e-fan on. But you are Probably right that the fan will move what I need it was out of a V8.But I will wait 2weeks to see your readings befor I do anything

If the 16" fan I bought doesn't move enough air, I might try one of these.

Don't they have a salvage yard you can go to? Probably be cheaper. If the yard I'm heading to this weekend has e-fans, they are 30-40 bucks, should be able to get my radiator stuff for under 100. Man this is getting to be an expensive project...lol

Damn, that is cheap. Honestly haven't been to a yard in probably 10 years, so no clue what prices are anymore.

I bet a you-pull it yard will be cheaper than a yard that takes it off for you.

The problem is that most vehicles that end up in salvage yards have major front end damage. This makes finding things like radiators, fans, bumpers, grilles, etc. that aren't damaged very difficult.

The problem with you-pull it yards is that the vehicles are picked over by the time thay get to the yard. But we dont have any other yards near hear

I just hope they have the radiator set up I want for testing. Fans will be here by the end of the week, and just bought a power supply to use for testing so I don't sacrifice my battery.
Not worried about the junk yard fan cost, should be able to get my money back out of them on craigslist. Haven't seen any newer electric fans on there yet, so have to wait and see what they go for when I try to sell them after the fact.

I put an ad on CL looking for a used radiator set up for a 5.9, only response I got was a salvage yard offering me one for a v10 for $200...lol...go figure.
