I have a 99 318.. A while back ,don't know what I was thinking, I took the
truck offroad a little..not much, but I ended up bottoming out the front end
hard enough to knock the radiator into the fan..ouch

Anyway..seeing misfortune as an opertune moment I put in a new radiator and
installed an electric fan from Advanced Auto. I've never had any problem
driving around with the A/C on full blast on HOT!! South Louisiana
Days..only thing is..the truck tends to warm a little bit if I just sit and
idle..but never overheat..In fact, the truck stays cooler now than it did
with the factory fan. just my .02

Hi Jack,
Yes, you are correct! Same motor, just different blade size.

The 14 and 16" fans actually have a higher CFM Rating, as per the
Summit/Jegs
catalogs.
