Mike,
Would this setup work in my Dakota? I've been trying to find a way to get rid of the mechanical MOPAR FUBAR fan setup in there since I bought it.
How hard is it to install?

-Oh no I picked a side-
Dale do you have a harbor freight tools near you?

Depends on how your rad is situated...
Not really. It's in west Tacoma, about 40 minutes away. What do you need?

They have those 4 caster dolly's for dirt cheap--perfect for putting the motor on one and the trans on the other so I can move the stuff around...
If too far I can figure something out or grab a couple when I get back out to Everett..

Wanna stop by, or I can, and take a look see?
Mike, that fan you linked... what kinda rad are you running in your toy and what kinda temps do you normally see with that fan? Are you running it on a thermal switch or just on a toggle? Any kind of shroud around it or just mounted right to the rad?
I'm tackling some heat issues on the YJ right now, and I think that fan is going to do the trick... just want to get an idea before I pull the trigger on ordering one. I have a 16" hayden 3700 curved blade crappo fan from the local parts store that I bought but it's just not doing the trick on long, slow climbs on dirt roads (IE, getting to the trail, lol), I think the 1500cfm rating is just not enough.
Not sure how hayden can can get away with selling this kinda crap as a mechanical fan replacement.

I have a bad one to see if it will fit harold.
I am running a rad out of a diesel toy--like a 3 core. The fan fits perfectly and I have never had a heat issue and in fact I can easily run the rig at my t-stat temp(185) with it running constantly even on the hottest days.
To make it dummy proof I am running it off a thermal switch(like the one I linked to) but I have a switch to disable it for those deep water crossings.

:corn: So where are the pictures???:corn:
Amazon the SPAL 30102120 for 45 bucks cheaper than directly through SPAL (comes from Amazon too, not one of their partner vendors), but I also noticed there's a few other unknown/random places that are even a little cheaper. I ordered through Amazon so I could get it ASAP with no worries.
