    i bought a 14inch fan from checker....i have it on a toggle switch...it cools a little....but i am in the desert so i need it for stop and go driving...

    i am also looking at getting a GOOD electric fan abd get rid of the engine run fan.... free up the ponies...

    so if you find a good solution for electric cooling let me know...

    thanks

    Ron; best thing I have found is the stock fan and a shroud. If you put an electric as a pusher on the outside of the radiator, it will work even better. The electric I used did very little to cool the engine down, and it is a stocker. Good luck!

    Ron I run a Flex-a-lite on mine and have never had any problem keeping it cool. It has a built in T-stat and holds the temp at 185 degrees.
    Summit part number is FLX-155, you've seen mine so you know I use it as a puller, it's a close fit.
