Another point on the stock fan is that it is temperature controlled and only uses HP when it's needed. That's the reason for the viscous clutch on the fan. When the incoming air is hot it tightens up. When it's not needed it freewheels. Most electrics are always drawing power when the A/C is on or the engine temp is up a bit. Or both. Which makes the alternator use more HP.
Sounds to me like you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. Not to mention that if the electric fans aren't properly shrouded and wired weather tight you are asking for potential issues.
Back in they day I saw a lot of 3rd gen F-bodies, especially Z28's and Trans Am's with blown engines that had overheated due to electric fan failures. Usually caused by failed relays.

That sounds a bit bloated.

Just to confuse people I put ZR5 wheels on my ZR2. As far as the 4 door ZR2, a couple have been hand built using an extended cab ZR2 frame and some fabrication. Was a post on here recently of a nice converted one. Too bad the poster wasn't as nice as his truck.
Stickers on a bed mean nothing. I could turn mine into a Ford 8.0L 4wd twin turbo Lightning just by buying stickers off ebay.

Now here's an Idea whose time has come. Stickers creating reality !

It must have been one heck of a fan - did it's suction aid the engine to pull the truck along on the road to get that +/- 5 MPG gain, or was that 5 Miles/ tank? I would posit that if it was a verifiable 5 MPG figure that more S10 owners and/ or GM would have readily adopted the electric fans. That's a really substantial boost over the EPA (& typical real world) mileage numbers, for any stock drivetrain setup.

yea it did ....its called nos lol

cmon guys , why all the blasting i did say about .... u got be smart ass all the time ????? , i liked this site till i get this from u 2 , and u know who i may just move on to another .......i been reading here awhile...been a great place for info...like i said no need be that way...ban me if want u know im right

We get guys that make claims all of the time about how much power this made, or how many mpg they got with that mod...but never anything to back it up but the butt dyno. Nothing to get upset about.

BTW...quit your swearing.

 

[chas58]

Just relax. We do tend to be a bit brutal with the comments sometimes, but no harm intended and it's not personal.
Same as bunch of guys standing around in a shop taking good natured jabs at each other. The new guy always gets the worst of it.
College boys call it initiation or hazing. Shrinks call it the rite of passage.

If you're referring to the electric fan, I'm not aware that GM ever produced an S series truck with one as stock, so it wouldn't be NOS.

 

[chas58]

no i installed it in the truck and i was joking about the nos ....trying releave tension

 

[chas58]

oldslayer good lol...i dont mind it just didnt want no one to get mad im 58 but u never to old to learn
