Has anyone attempted to put an electric fan in a 2nd Gen. Ram like people have talked about in the 3rd Gen section? I saw their threads and am curious to see if the same thing would work for my truck.

Thanks

Yes, theres a few of us who have them

 

i believe i have a thread about mine, u can search for my threads

 

forgetting horspower, i wonder if it would actually pay for itself in MPG ?

 

I dont see why it wouldnt, less strain on the engine. maybe a lil more stain on the alt but not enough to cause it to bog the engine down nearly as much as a belt would

 

well, you've still got the belt that's turning the PS, WP, ALT, Tensioner, and the all important AC. and the fan is a clutch style that slips, so you get a break there... and i don't care to turn more rpm, or go any faster, so i'm still just wondering how much power gain can actually deliver to the rear wheel as higher mpg. we need a HANKL study on this.

 

heres one dyno test for a mustang, but the fan he's mentioning in this process i do believe a few of our guys on here have the same fan http://phystutor.tripod.com/stang/fans.html

 

i installed my perma cool setup last year its pricey but it was worth the price. it really cleans up the engine compartment

 

HAHAHAHA yes we do

 

Damn that gives u a good bit of more room in there.
