Thanks for the answers, Bill!!!!! Needless to say - ignore my post=20
where I asked the same thing. I was changing multiple things at once,=20
so I have no hard figures, but I'll bet your assessment of a .2 drop=20
in the =BC was accurate. You can feel the motor wrapping up quicker=20
with no fan.

Yes, the fan was one of the easyest things I ever did. It was from=20
Perma
cool. I ordered it and the adjustable thermostat from Jegs for $120
total. (thats $85 for the fan, $45 for the thermostat) The hardest=20
part
was getting the old fan off, it had a real big nut holding it on, I=20
think
it was a 1 and 1/4 inch nut, so I had to find a box end that large.=20
Well,
after it was out of the way, I installed it inside the shroud. I=20
never
had to take the shroud off, just loosen the a/c radiator, mounted in=20

of the other radiator, in order to tighten down the things that hold=20
it
on. I cant explain it well but it works like a zip tie basically. It=20
is
easy to do the electronics and then you just have to play with the
thermostat until you get it to only come on when it gets to 190 or so,=20
if
you have a 180 deg thermostat. In this summer heat, going from here=20
in MD
to my home in NC, it never saw temperatures higher than 195, even in=20
stop
and go traffic. On the road, it cooled right off to 180. I 1/4 miled=20
it
before and after, with the same weather conditions and I dropped .2 in=20
the
quarter. Advertised flow was 2950 cfm for it and 2500 for the 18=20
incher,
thats why I got the 16 inch.
Ok, so that was long winded.... Later
