electric fan conversion
I have a few trucks between 92-96 that I would like to put electric fans on. I do not want my father's on a switch like mine is because he is pretty forgetful . Is there a way to put some type of sensor in the thermostat housing to tell the relay when to turn it on? All trucks have the 351w

Is an electric fan good for towing? I have been doing some research after I posted and it seems like people are shying away from them since they do not move enough air to keep the truck cool.

You need to make sure you have a properly sized electric fan with a good shroud. Some people say nothing is better than a mechanical fan with the factory fan shroud. If you can find a factory electric fan from a car with similar horsepower levels you should be o.k. For instance I just parted out a 93 Mark VIII and the fan from that would work because the size is larger enough and it came off an engine that was rated at just under 300 HP. I would not put an escort fan on there and expect it work
