Before I begin, yes, I did a search and spent a good while reading a ton of posts on electric fans (diagrams, taurus, V8, mounting, FAQ links, etc), but still have some questions as most of the past topics seemed to cover electric replacements/upgrades behind the radi versus in front as an auxillary.
At slow crawling speeds the temp in my V8 will get up to 220 or so in the hot desert we have inland. SO, in preperation for the coming summer, I was thinking of running an auxillary electric fan (the PO claims he had one, but kept it) in front of the radi. This is just to cover the cooling issue when crawling as my daily driving temps are good to go.
1. what are your thoughts on a fan in front of the radi as an auxillary to the fan behind the radi
2. your thoughts on using a therma to control it, versus a manual switch to run it as you see fit. (I seem to tend towards a switch so I can run it as I want when I want.)
3. any side effects of having an Auxillary fan in front of radi that, when not in use, impinges/reduces air flow into radi when in general use and effect my daily driving?
4. your opinions on affordable fans for in front of radi as an auxillary
I read a post by Gumby that eludes to this setup and that Woody might be doing this setup?
