I have posted a reply on vendor feedback thread. I'm not sure if I can recommend a vendor here. Perhaps one of you old timers/administrative types can advise in this regard...

Taruus fan. Depending on what temp you want the fan to come on, you can use a temp activated switch & a Painless 30100 70 amp relay kit.

Why not? if a products good... Say so, If it's bad... Say so! You can talk about a product of poor quality and still be respectful. There are other forums where that may get you in trouble. I have a feeling this is NOT one of them.

I am thinking about an electric fan as well since it becoming hotter. and I'm missing half my fan shroud. I'd rather invest $80.00 into an electric setup then into a shroud.

You had best have a BIG (read3G) alt, and a large dedicated relay to run that thing on high speed. Over 80 amp startup..53 running. :eek:
