Electric Fan & Thermostat

[aleon]

Thinking of getting an e-fan and 170 degree stat. I've heard from some people that it's not worth it. Any takes on this? Should I waste my $$$ or save it for somethig else?

I think it all depends on your current mods and how you use your L. I personally couldnt see spending that much on it like a Throttle body untill i had done all the big gain power adders. Weigh out what mods you have and what the next ones you have to choose from. Go with the one thatll give you the most Bang for your buck.

i am really happy with my e-fans but for the money the gain is little. they do let your truck heat up faster and cool down quicker too. the engine revs a lil quicker also

Going to a electric fan helps alot at the track when you are trying to cool down between rounds. I think it is very much a worth while mod just for that reason.

it's one of the best mods there is, just don't go waisting $500.00 on it. you can do it yourself for les than $150

I disagree, there is no real advantage to that, proven anyway.

I gained a little over a MPG with mine in the summer time. You should rev quicker and gain a little power. I think they are really worth it in the hot climate.

The only reason i have them on my list is to save the gas. If I gain some fuel milage, they will pay for themselves and after a while, they will be basicly free and help pay for other mods. I know its a different way to look at it, but it helps me justify any cost involved to the wife.
Creative reasoning.
