Radiator fan can you have too many...
I was looking at add an electric IN FRONT of the radiator. I want to keep my mechanical fan.
I don't have room to add it behind (engine side), and I don't want to "replace" the mechanical, with the electric. Was just looking for thought and opinions, on having both.

Re: Radiator fan can you have too many...
It would help to know what reason you need the fan for. Are you trying to cure a symptom and not a cause with your cooling system? In all honesty, going electric only on the back is the best option, but can also be expesnive. Putting a pusher fan on is very inefficient, but can help a little.

Re: Radiator fan can you have too many...
^^ That's what I'm wondering also.... are you trying to fix a problem, or prevent a possible problem from ever happening, or....? If the cooling system is in good working order (maybe a 4-row radiator), has the right fan shroud, and a good 7-blade clutch fan (with maybe a HD clutch), the truck should never run hot.
