    O.k. guys, your thoughts on this....
    Would it be practical to change the mechanical cooling fan to an electric cooling fan?
    Pros...cons...thoughts?
    Thanks

    I've considered this myself.

    The Pros that I've found:
    On/Off cooling, only runs when needed
    Won't turn on when under water
    Doesn't use the engine to turn it, so may gain a slight performance



    Cons that I've heard:
    Electric motor can give out leaving you stranded
    Price

    Hell, my old 02 went LOTS of places I didnt necessarily think it would go!! Just gotta try it!! My tipping point was 35's locked f/r and the tendency to be a tad heavy on the skinny pedal! Not a good recipe for cv life!!

    And yes, my goodyears got hungry after some unforseen forced articulation and ate part of the bumper! lol
