I don't know where to post my question. Figure you V8 guys would know best.
I bought a Taurus fan to install. I was hoping it would free up space. It doesn't really.
I would like to know if anyone has removed and flipped the fan, then wired it backwards?
I'd like it better up front if I can. The fan moves so much air, and I don't have AC. It should be able to cool plenty.

I've cut down several of these shrouds for a closer fit . Front mounted fans can create unneeded airflow restrictions. Usually rear mt. fans are best.

I'd return it simply because it's a Doormat. Everything they make is junk. There are many fans out there that are slimmer. Both factory and aftermarket. Unfortunately most aftermarket are Chinese like your Dorkman.
Is your truck a V8? PM @Harley, he has come up with some pretty novel combos that work well. It's surprising how small a fan and rad are actually needed. Those Taurus are amperage hoes. You need heavy duty relays for them to keep from toasting them. I think they really spike on start up.

Wasn't aware of any new parts still made in USA.

Spal is sometimes usa, sometimes italy
there are some aftermarket fans for euro cars made in euro/usa. TYC and maybe Four Seasons come to mind
