Budget E-fan setup, will it work?

underdrive pully slows down your alts, with a fan, head light on....ect you will have to many things pulling power and your volts will fall at idle
you can run both with a fan that has a low amp draw
i will not, i would hate to get in a traffic jam with the underdrive pully, and the a/c blower on, it could run your battery down

If you get an underdrive pulley set that includes a smaller alternator pulley that will restore full speed to the alternator, you won't have to worry about not charging at idle. The hard part is knowing if the set you buy actually restores the alternator to full speed, as I've seen some (for other vehicles) that don't.

i think the underdrive pully had bigger gains than the efan,,,, RM indy has the info on that sum were
but if you think the clutch fan is only to work at lower speeds no all the time, but you are still moving it at higher speeds also, but no neary the same drag at idle/off the line
any ways, dont think that you can just put a efan or pullys on and turn that truck into a race car.... you may only pick a few 10th's in the 1/4..(not trying to sound like a dick) just the facts

see thats the thing no one makes a smaller alt pully with 7 ribs for these alts

Lets see you all's E-fan set-up.

I rebuilt my 318 and an upgraded cooling system was part of the build. 2 procomp e-fans and a new aluminum fan shroud. But my truck was still running at 230ish, and i was pissed to say the least.So i bought a new radiator and there was the problem 200 degrees all day in south Texas, even while towing.So if cooler temps are what you want i think a rad flush would be a good idea.

I cringe when my motor gets anywhere close to 200 on the guage, I will start messing with **** and possibly pull over if it goes above it.....the only 2 times it has been over 200 was at the dragstrip, and when I was at work left a/c on full blast and it idleing for close to an hour.
But I have been looking at doing a E-fan setup and found you can get some fans for cheap on ebay.
Not to thread jack but is it possible to fit 2 16's or a 16 and a 14 in the stock shroud space, I plan on getting a sheet of aluminum to mount the fans to, instead of the radiator, and also say one fan pushes 2150cfm would that keep the motor cool enough if the other one went out
