Did you record your MPG difference performing this fan swap ? I have a electric fan kit I bought for my truck project below but may just install it on my van for now. That's if the MPG difference is noticeable.



Looks like maybe your radiator may not be long to check out on you !
Check this place out; http://www.radiatorbarn.com/ I have bought two from them so far with no problems.
