I put an electric fan on a 91 dakota I had. The truck was a 318 4x4 and the fan cooled it ok. The only problems I had was if we were 4 wheeling on hot summer days a low speeds it would run a little hot. But i noticed a difference in power and fuel econemy when I installed it.

Mine got about 1 mpg better than it had, in a wind at that....like 20 plus side-to head wind...I just did a 850 mile round trip this past weekend...1mpg better was the average, and as ya know a slant six needs all the help it can get power wise! (one half the trip was really windy) And Still no TRUCK smiley..... my Bill

Guys, I had a REAL scarey thing happen this mornin....I left the house, and went to stop at a fairly busy two lane and NO BRAKES!!!!!...rolled right into the street thru the stop sign...was really lucky no cars were coming. There are 2 schools nearby and morning traffic is largely kids gettin taken to school. Diagnosis was bad master cyl on rear circuit, and a blown front hose. I am in the middle of replacin all the rubber hoses, and the master cyl. I might not have made it till Thurs, the 19th....my B-day....yep I am almost an "Older Goat", hahaha! I am tellin folks I will be 62, but look really young for my age!!!hahahaha!!! (I will be 46)oh well checkthose hoses guys!, I don't want the same thing happenin to you!!!! And still no truck smiley..... Bill
