Default Did e-fan mod.. but discovered something.

I went to the junk yard and picked up two taurus fans for 24$. Well mines from a 98-99. After getting home I realized mines completely different from the normal 3.9 taurus fan. Finally got it all mounted up and all. Its alot harder to mount than a 3.9 fan, because you have to make supports whereas the 3.9 fan comes attached to a shroud. It only took the fan a few bolts and 36" of 1/8 flat ss metal.

Anyways, many of you already know this but. Its about 70* here today and I have rode around all day picking up parts with absolutely no overheating issues. Actually temperature never got past 191* but averaged 184*

I can remove my whole fan with 4 bolts. I still need to get it wired up. I install was still super easy. I used two holes on the chassy and two holes on the top of the radiator.

I couldn't feel much of a difference without fan but the lod on my scangauge was considerably lower. And that should equal better gas mileage. With gas heading to 4.00$ a gallon Im gonna need it.
