Why people change the mechanical fan and replace with an electric fan? What are the benefits of the electric fan over the mechanical fan..?

a1racer

less drag on the motor. better flow over the rad and a tiny increase in mpg. plus you can turn the electric fan on and off if need be

well I got this from my mecanical fan

quadracer0387

^^^ i got that too

a1racer

where you in water or did the motor mount let go

mike37

I have all new mounts
it was on a steep hill with rocks and I was getting lots of body twist

a1racer

i guess that sucks man did it go through or only surface damage

quadracer0387

a1racer

its toast I have a new one coming
we were 5 miles out one the trail
and it was leaking like crazy one of the guys had some stop leak
that slowed it down
we stop every mile to fill it up and let it cool
gator aid beer and cooler water got us back to safety

gator aid worked better than beer or water

hmm, If I put in a 3-Line radiator, switching to an electrical fan would be a much much better option.. right?

a1racer

i guess i will have to do mine sooner then i though we do rocks and stuff almost every other week i don't want that to happen. considering we are pretty far from home.

a1racer

yes

mike37

yes its an expensive fix
