Can someone ihelp me of the following questions please about going to an electric fan?
[ol][*]How much power can I expect to gain? I read here 8-10HP, seems impressive, is it right?[*]Any fuel economy?[*]How difficult is the mod to do?[*]How much does it cost?[*]Where do I get what I need? Fan, mounting and wiring?[*]Any good write-ups I can read up on it?[/ol]
I have an 04 QuadCab w/Hemi8 foot bed. So far bone stock except K&N drop in filter. Will need an exhaust and tires in the spring.

Thanks and Happy New Year

 

i noticed a bit of fuel economy improvment when i put it on my 98 ram. less parasitic mass being rotated off the front of the motor is always a good thing. it cost about $230, if i recall correctly. it wasn't very hard to hook up. i had to make xome custom mounting brackets is all.

sorry i don't know of any write ups though.

 

You can get a Perma-Cool kit through Summit Racing for about $550, and it supposedly includes everything you need to make it work... but if you can do it for $230, go that route I might have to try it as well if I can find a write up.

Thanks for the replies.

$550 seems pretty steep for the kit. I'll go back and see if I can find it. Not crazy about chopping up my stock shroud in the winter when I need the truck and all. Should have looked in the summer while it was still bike season.

 

why waste your time and money. unless your doing some serious towing dont bother

 

Same as any other mod.. more horsepower is more horsepower.

 

the fan mod is just like a cai, an all around good mod, imo.
