LMAO! little no appreciable gain. your pretty funny, when you get them for trucks, it makes a big difference when your towning a load behind your truck or if your doin some wheelin out in the back woods. I think that little no appreciable gain, is still a gain in power in my books. And its well worth the money.

I disagree, you actually have it backwards. Take a wild guess at what is usually the first thing to fail on a laptop is, on average? The hard drive, one of the few mechanical devices left in a computer.
If installed and treated properly, an electronic device will last much longer than an equivalent mechanical device, simply because the mechanical device relies on moving parts, where as the electrical device relies on electrical connections. Electrical connections, if not for outside forces (air/environment/moisture/vibration/whatever), would last forever. Mechanical devices will not.

I have had e-fans go out on my and overheated. I have never overheated because of a clutch fan not engaging.

the only way that u gain alot from e-fans if u have the old style direct fan but they stop making those along time ago. u will gain a little from e-fans but not as much as they claim. i am also will not use a e-fan in my truck i think for my application the stock clutch fan will do just fine
