What would be the benefit of a After market cooling fan? like one of them 70$ ones from summit?
Cpl degrees cooler then stock or is it just for looks?
-
The main benefit is thermal efficiency/consistency and lack of mechanical drag on the crankshaft. Unfortunately the only real bolt on high efficiency fans for our trucks are around $500 bucks. A 16" fan alone with no shroud will not proved adequate cooling

well i found one..Fits perfect in the shroud in place of the old one guy wants 15 bucks for it like new condition not warped or nothing
-
Sounds like a good deal. I would love to put a dual setup on my 85 c10, but like Vile said they are pricey. :(
-
If you can mount one effectively inside your existing shroud then go for it! Just make sure you wire it up using the correct gauge wire, circuit protection, and a relay controlled by a thermostatic switch.

$15.00, I say go for it. Just make sure it does work.
