cheesey Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Just wondering if anyone else has used these or had problems with them. I just ripped out my second one because it stopped working had proper voltages and everything. I think it may have been hit or miss for a little while, but today it just stopped. I put my fan on a switch now. Just wondering if anybody uses anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Code Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I replaced the OE electric fans/relays with the mechanical fan & shroud 4 years ago, more reliable and runs 15% cooler in the hot SoCal climate.. Just my $0.02... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G54Bstore Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 you can also slap a flex fan on it from a local auto parts store and keep her cool. I did that many moons ago. I think you need like a 19 inch with a 2 inch spacer inbetween the water pump pulley and the fan. back then it was only like 30 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckheads Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I put one of the Subaru fans in my 87 a couple years ago and putting one in my 88 now. Seems to work really well.
