Hey I thought there was a walk throw on Electric fans, picking one out and install on this site... I can't seem to find it. Was I mistaking this site for another?
-
actually I have read several threads on electric fans or parts to get'em running. I actually just put together a web page about my install.... be kind though it was my first attempt at a web page! http://home.maine.rr.com/rwing1/JeepElecFan.html Picking a fan for me was really just finding one CHEAP that fit the radiator and space available. A trip to the local yard found me a pile of electric fans in a room that they were happy to let me pick through...... found one labeled "late 90's Intrepid" that fit the rough measurments I had taken and a few days later I had it all put it in.

There's these two.....

Hey, ive been looking through the posts trying to find one on the right electric fan to buy. I thought someone posted one not too long ago with one that was being sold on amazon along with setting up a switch for it? Anywho, cant find it...
-
I know the ford Tauraus with the 3.8L V6 i think years 90-95. Easy to find at any pick a part and held on by 2 bolts i think 7/16.
Not sure on the Mark VIII but might be same years.
-
how much are they new? and what are my options there?
-
Dont know new you would have to call a ford dealer for that and i'm sure it's more than the $35 I paid for at the pick a part.
The fans are in really good condition on those junkyard cars. The ones on e-bay are from the junkyard just cleaned up which you can do with some armor all.
-
why would i need to find a ford dealer? Im sure there are after market efans. Im not necessarily looking for a ford. Im well aware of the vastly lower prices at pick a parts, just searching for my options.

The Ford fans are some of the best. Not only are they easy to find in salvage yard but they're cheap and last a long time. The MK8 fan is a monster even when in low-speed. The Taurus fan is no slouch either.

autozone has them new but at nearly $200 i took my "chances" with the $10 used one at the autoyard..
-
damn, ya i dont normally like to pay more in gas to get there and pay less for the stupid thing. haha
-
E-bay has them (Taurus 3.8) for around $45 plus $15 shipping. Company is in Florida...just ordered one...will advise more when I get it and try to put it on. Not sure what all comes with it...but 4WeelParts.com has the switch assembly for around $75 if I recall.

I've used the same one as jeffy works great.
I just slide the temp probe through the fins right under the upper retrun hose neck of the radiator.
