Default Electric Fan????

Hello all,

Just wondering.

I have heard that Electric Fans will help to free up lost power that is currently going to spinning the stock fan. My questions are: How much power will an electric fan free up? Has anyone bought one? Did you notice a difference? Can you recommend one for a 2005 4.0 application?

Thanks,

Im not positive, but I remember somebody asking about this on another forum. As far as I know we already have an electric fan, so no horespower gain will be found.

I could be wrong but as far as I know we already have an electric fan. Run yor A/C on a hot day, you can hear it click on and off.
