I recently purchased a 2006 ram 1500. Added magnaflow custom dual out passenger side as well as a volant cai. Im loking to go with an electric fan next. I tow a 6000 pound camper occasionally and need to know what electric fan will be adequate.

 

Make sure it flows a constant 3000 cfm, minimum.
I've read pro's and con's about towing with an e-fan. Although I personally think I'd rather have an e-fan moving air at top speed if I was crawling, in heavy traffic, on a hot *** day rather than a stock fan barely moving when in stop & go traffic...

 

Do a search on a Lincoln Mk V111 fan on e-bay.
I haven't got one of these but if you do a search on another well know forum site, this is what they're all fitting.
Apparently, they pretty well go straight in.
The only difficulty seems to be in removing the dreaded viscous clutch fan pack from the water pump.
You must have the right tool to remove it as it's put on there sooooo tight.
Hope this helps?

I went with the Black Magic Extreme 180. Mounted it on a full aluminum shroud. Seems to work fine here in Florida.

I don't know of any electric fan
that can handle towing 6000 lbs up
some of the steeper hills on the Interstate System.

You can pretty much ignore the CFM ratings of new e-fans in the advertising
as those are in 'free air' and not with the restriction the radiator will cause.

electric fans are for light duty....
when the fan is totally off
there is a savings in the 0.5 to 1.5 hp range
over the slipping viscous clutch design

when the fan is on and running
pulling a typical 30 to 70 amps from the alternator and battery
there is no MPG benefit
compared to the slipping viscous clutch fan

 

i used the Flex-a-Lite e-fan that i got from moe's performance...just mounted it right to the stock shroud and it works just fine...the Flex-a-lite is 3000cfm so that should work just fine for what you need....yeah make sure you go buy or rent the tool to get the fan off...i tried using some different things (drill bits lol) to hold it but none of em would work

 

Once at speed the fan is doing nothing anyway. The vast majority of the cooling comes from air being rammed into the radiator opening. That's far more CFM than any fan ever made.

It's at low and stop & go speeds that the e-fan is in its element. I have towed 6k lbs (Grand Marquis on a U-Haul trailer) through the north GA mountains on local roads & interstate -- in July. Granted, it was in my old 92 GMC w/ TBI 350 but it was converted to dual e-fans. I never had a problem.

And finally, I don't know how anyone can have "Electric fan woes" if they haven't even picked the one to buy yet. Woes happen after you own something!
