I already have a 40,000 gvw trans cooler w/ a 10 inch fan blowin over it and it still runs around 190 "if" i drive like a sane man but thats a big if. but the motor stays below what it did when it had a clutch fan on it plus it seems to rev a bit quicker. and still no truck smiley

anybody know how horsepower it takes to turn a clutchfan? or is the difference all in my head? and still no truck smiley

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.

how much of a difference did you notice? power is hard to measure without a dyno, but mileage? and still no truck smiley

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.....

Bill

arent you tired of those trips yet? man your a die hard. and still no truck smiley

That poor /6 is getting a real workout...Do you do the trip every weekend?????-:)

I make the trip about every 2 to 3 weeks...won't be long till I get these remodels done, thank goodness!!!
and yep, the ol' slant just keeps on tickin...gonna build a new engine before too long. steel crank 225 w/198 rods and turbo 2.2 pistons...or mebbe a magnum headed 360. More than likely a six tho. I have kinda grown fond of em, good mileage and darn near indestructable...mine has been overheated badly twice now, and it didn't kill it!!!

I agree , stay with the six if i get another one it'll be a six cyl truck, like you say god mileage and darn near indesructable. and still no truck smiley

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!!!!
