Electric fan

Will a aftermarket electric fan cool just as good as the factory clutch fan on a 95 F150 5.0L engine with heavy duty cooling system.

It should. I have a 87 with a 5.0 and 2 row radiator and it did just fine. I took my fan shroud and put my electric fan in it, so that it pulled air through the whole radiator. I also bought a temp thingy (Can't remember the name) that would turn the fan on when the water temp hit 185*.

I believe I got my fan out of a taurus.
