my personal preference, and rationale, is that mechanical fan, although effective...never shuts off. even if the clutch goes to "near idle" on the fan, you're still spinning it with the engine...all the time...when you don't need it.

the nice thing about electric fans, is that you CAN get one that works, and wire them to ONLY work when you need them.


the whole "ma had it right" argument that guys often spout is amusing to me. If there's "no need to change anything, the engineers had it right from the factory" then why does the same guy who makes that point have bigger brakes, ported heads, camshaft swaps, stroker cranks, stiffer T-bars, adjustable shocks....
