Subject: DML: What electric fan have you used on your Dak?

Please help.

I want to buy an electric fan!
I need to know who has used what fan, and how well does it work.
Any heat problems?

I saw a Perma-flex or a Perma-cool fan today. It had a 16" metal, six =
bladed fan, it looked like it was a pretty heavy-duty fan. it also =
looked like it would fit pretty well.

Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,

I put a Perma cool 16" fan on my 98 5.2L 4x4 and it worked good but would
not keep the truck cool.I had temps get up to 210 one day while using the AC
and this was in October so I removed the fan til I can get a second one to
put in front of the condenser.I noticed a small increase in gas mileage with
the fan and the engine seemed more responsive.
I would recomend if you go with the fans to get the 4x4 mounting kits and
not use the nylon straps through the radiator.
Wish you good luck.
