Electric cooling fan?

[tracker954x4]

Has anyone run or thought of running electric fans instead of the mechanical one? My last trip to the drag strip i had an issue with the fan kicking in going down the track seriously killing my times.:doh:

Last I heard, there was an issue with the electric fans not having enough cooling capacity. I don't know if there are any new kits that are bigger now.

Yeah i kinda figured that since i hadn't heard of anyone running an electric fan. It would take a massive electric fan to be able to move enough air.

Goto www.coolmyduramax.com they make electric fans for Duramax

Flex a lite also make a dual electric fan setup for Duramaxes

Both increase mpg and hp. Good mods too.

flex a lite is not reccomended for towing so I wonder just how cool it does keep the motor while daily driving?

Dunno....but the other one at cool my duramax has been through lots of testing. He makes all kinds of stuff, headers too.
My truck stays rather cool, never above 190. I use Water Wetter and have for years. I do have the electrics on my wish list because my fan is loud when its on....

There is a mod on another diesel forum about a homeade kit. I believe it used dual Taurus or Derale fans and the electronics and brackets from Radio Shack and Home Depot.....I think he had like 250.00 in it.

Electric fans are low on my list as they dont come on when pulling. But I will most likely add flex a lites as much truck is towed more often that it is towing.
