hmmm, using the electric fan as a "backup" is exactly like putting a big, dead, Blob in front of the radiator, when driving the car. Wouldn't work for me, neighbor. Looks like it works for you, and that's so nice. I prefer to keep the fan clutch unit on the water pump snout and use the electric fan as a backup for extreme situations so in my case, I don't need the electric fan to handle all the cooling needs. For those who are using an electric fan for all their cooling, there are more efficient setups available such as the SPAL fans and as recently mentioned in Car Craft (or Pop Hot Rodding), the use of the mid 90's Lincoln Mark VII and Ford Taurus fans that are built with a good sized shroud. Not a simple instalation but one to consider if you've got serious cooling needs. Those fans do draw some serious amps so an alternator upgrade is warranted.
