Hello,

Has anyone attempted to replace the clutch fan with an electric alternative? If yes could you let me know how it worked out and if it was a painful install?

Thanks!

Not my cup of tea, have yet to see a decent setup on a D1/D2 that worked as good as the fan blade/fan clutch setup.

 

I've never had any trouble with any fan clutch on any of my vehicles including my Disco. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

 

I have fans from an '05 GTO in mine using a Ron Francis AR99 Controller. Here is the thread on my saga which included a non-related overheating issue.

If you have any questions, just ask. I love the set up, but it may be overkill. The flex-a-lite and the Taurus fans both worked fine, but the GTO Fans give you the most cfm and radiator coverage without a custom shroud. I have it mounted with nuts and bolts to four aluminum brackets I have that hold it on to the radiator, wanted to braze them on, but could not execute that. I ain't ready for Motortrend Channel quite yet. I really do recommend a Ron Francis Controller, the AR99 will start the fans at different temps, but really, they could both come on at the same time. In really really cold weather I will spend some highway time with only one fan, but that isn't often at all. The Ron Francis Controller is beefy, has relays and is superior to the flex a lite.
