In my experience, everything from bosch, airtex & seafoam has given me huge repair bills & made me have to repair the same thing again multiple times. If your fuel pump goes, use a carter, denso or delphi, those last the longest. lots of other good stuff in this thread. I did my own electric fan conversion. Search electric fan conversion with my username, you will see some great links on making your own kit if you are inclined to do so. I am not at my own PC & dont have links to share here, but I did share them on previous threads.

Good for you on cheap *** efan setup. The fact is that it does not equate to Roller Rockers in performance to the engine. That was the point bro. You win for cost effective, nothing more.

I was thinking the same thing.... He wasnt much for small talk but sure like to stick to the facts and rule out myth from truth...
Maybe hes just been busy?
He reminded me a bit of HANKL

fans can make more of a difference than you think.....http://www.carnut.com/ramblin/dyno.html

7 RWHP gain is pretty good for fifty bucks....whats the 1.7 rocker gain on a dyno? about 10-15 RWHP (marketing hype aside)... for between $230-600 bucks in price, so as far as bang for the buck yeah I'd say the fan mod isnt so bad a value but it all depend on what the truck is used for...

l yeah the second pic had the word "guns" in it..maybe thats why it wouldnt load right the first time, the gov doesnt want you to see such harmful words...lol.. This makes wonder how much fun its gonna be once the Sophie censoring laws are passed (if it happens).

Wellllll i build bombs for a living, so i doubt that they are trying to censor it for the word guns haha...

More likely it is linked from a page that is blocked (imageshack, photobucket, etc...)
