Re: Electric Fans: Taurus, Mark VIII, Something else?

Very useful info on spacing here. I was totally unaware of the congestion at the water pump pulley. Sounds like the best way to go is definitely two fans. Is there anyone out there who was having cooling problems with the mechanical fan and solved it with one of these OEM style units? Or was it for other reasons?

What about pusher fans? Is there a particularly good pusher configuration for our setup, assuming there was also a mechanical clutch fan?

My thoughts on that and I know this isn't a yes/no like you are asking

The mechanical fan WILL cool a 460 in our trucks. Going to an electric setup CAN cool a 460 in our trucks. If the mechanical is having issues cooling, then addressing the root cause should be done before looking to electrical.
