Fan Upgrade

Fanning the Flames
Adding more cubic feet per minute of flow capacity to the existing fan setup helps the stock radiator to work more efficiently by helping it to get rid of heat faster. In the same way that a bigger fan will help cool off a hot room faster than a tiny one, a radiator fan upgrade can help your radiator get rid of heat quicker. Another good reason to upgrade an existing radiator fan system is if the stock electric motors have lost their spunk, or are about to quit altogether. On and off action, combined with operating in the mechanical sauna that is your engine compartment, can eventually cause the stock electric motors that power the fans to get tired and give up. A dead radiator fan or fans on a hot day can result in overheating and expensive engine damage. A set of performance replacement fans can be a great alternative to stock replacement and can also help out if you find yourself towing heavy loads or running around the racetrack on a hot day.


Keep in mind that even a thousand fans won't cool off a malfunctioning cooling system. The radiator, water pump, thermostat and all associated parts must be working properly first before deciding that a fan package is the answer. If the cooling system checks out, but you're still running hot, there are a world of aftermarket replacement upgrades out there from easy bolt-in solutions to universal fit packages that will help keep you and your engine running cool.
