Is this a good mod to handle our overheating issue?

No, if you are overheating then something else is wrong. Give us more info on your problem. I suggest you start a fresh thread on your problem though.

Oh my problem is resolved lol I'm in the process of installing my third engine in my dodge. This one is being rebuilt with better machined oil guides for the 7th and 8th cylinder to handle the oil sludge issue that our engines have had in the past. I just feel like it's better to start from day one with an upgraded cooling system. I'm in the process of trying to find a good upgrade for our radiators. This solution with the E-fan will help add the confidence that my cooling system will help my engine from seeing the problems I've ran into in the past

I just built or actually stroked my 5.7 to a 392 (6.4), for safety sake I used the clutch fan during breakin and it always seemed to run warm whenever I sat at idle at a light...with a 180 tstat it would get to 203-209 pretty often. Lat week I decided to put the efan back in and now it averages 190-194 (rarely) when sittin at a light for any period of time... you can tell when the efan ramps up that there is no way a clutch fan can match that air flow being pulled thru radiator/coolers.
