Electric rad fan stock???
« on: September 15, 2005, 07:26:34 PM »
Hey,
All the kicks/trackers I have seen have a electric fan in front of the rad.  Does it help alot?  My sidekick overheats at slow crawling speeds.  Do you think this would help and does this come stock?

Thanks A Lot

 Put one in the 91 track I had (removed clutch fan) , it's cold up here so it helped keep me warm & at the flick of a switch it would cool almost to the cold mark on the guage in almost seconds.

 I put mine in cause I kept breaking the clutch ones in water crossings( flick switch and no fan to break)

That could be for the a/c , if you have a/c and a fan like that pull the wire off of the compressor and turn on your a/c and see if it helps cool things down.

The stock electric fan in front of the radiator is for the a/c. I haven't found one yet that actually still worked. Your truck had/has a/c. If it didn't, you wouldn't have that fan. If it still works, I don't see why you couldn't wire it up to a switch to help cool things off...

I nabbed the electric fan from an A/C Kick and mounted it in front of my rad and pulled out the clutch fan. It cools very nicely ;D
