Electric fan

I have been running my Blazer 350 this summer 96* and when running my A/C the engine temp creeps upwards to 200* in traffic at a stop light. I don't like my engine to run much over normal operating temp 185*. I am curious about installing a electric cooling fan kit. What is your experience with that set up? Who has the best set up? I would like to buy a kit with everything that is needed to install it. Thank for any suggestions. Alex

Re: Electric fan

Nothing wrong with electric if that's what you want, but there's no need for it. You are a long way from overheating. Couple things to consider:

1. A stock cooling system, with everything in good working order (including a shroud & clutch fan), should never overheat.

2. Have you verified that your temp readings are correct?

3. 200* is far from overheating. Water boils at 212*, 50/50 antifreeze mix boils at 226* (unpressurized) and at 259* at 12 psi.
