I'm putting this out there and apologies if it has already been covered,
Brunswick has sent me over a fix radiator fan flange to see if the viscous coupler is faulty. Immediate results astounding with at threats a 15 degree temp drop in all ranges.
Now struggling to keep the just around town temps over 78 degrees.
Spam have a dual electric fan set up that almost fits perfectly into the space behind the radiator and engine. Only 105mm in depth, with a static air flow of around 3,000 cfm.
I'm not a fan ( pardon the pun) of fixed fans. I can already see my fuel gauge drop before my eyes. Has any one ever played with a total electric solution or has advise based on experience with electric fans.
My thought is as follows:
1: no load on the engine hence no hit on fuel usage
2: can be controlled via a temp switch if need be and easily tinkered with.
3: if doing a creek crossing, can actually be turned off
4: at 1 in h20 static pressure, it sucks 45 amps of current ... ouch.
