ok my opinon here.

 

dont run without the mechanical fan unless you install another electric to replace. do the relay set up that the skip man suggested. I have my cooling system all stock with the addition of a new 2 row radiator and have no problems in the summer heat. it rarely needs to kick on the electric fan.

on my toyota truck however I converted to a electric set up. It did give a little bit more HP. so if that is the reason for the removal give it a try.

 

The only advantage to a clutch driven fan would be water submersibility in off road conditions.

 

not really. clutch fans are rather poor in water. most serious of roaders will remove a clutch fan before going into some deep water. I have seen the radiators of those that did not.:eek:

that was the reason for my electric conversion on my truck. to avoid the need to remove the fan before a dunking.

 

one last note. unless you find some kick a$$ electric fan I dont feel that they pull as much air at higher rpm as a cluth fan would.

 

that is all for me
