I hate to bring electric fans up again, as it seems to be a monthly
posting....but I see all the people you listed use them. My questions:

Are these daily drivers?
What brand/part number are the fans?

I want an electric fan for my daily driven Dak, but haven't really been
able to find one that sounds like it will last through West Texas heat with
the A/C on.

THANKS a BUNCH!!

Brian

ps...some fast ass trucks there..=)
