Fiberglass Eng. Fan.

MY 97 HAS STEEL FAN BLADES AND A FRIENDS 03 HAS FIBERGLASS, WILL THE FIBERGLASS FIT MY 97 AND HAVE ENOUGH CFM?

I don't think so. I believe the plastic fans in the 3rd generation trucks are much bigger and have many more blades. I'm sure you could do a custom fabrication, if you really wanted one, but I don't think its a direct bolt on.

Intersting topic, I have always wondered if switching out the heavy fan and clutch for a lighter non clutched flex fan would be of any benifit. Reduce noise? Possible overcooling when cold with clutch removed? Any comments?

Electric Fan to gain H.P.

www.emp-corp.com
They claim to have "high performance Diesel Grade Electric Fans That Have Maximum Cooling For Medium Duty Fleets"!
Don't know if they are too big for the Dodge radiators, but it my be worth looking into!
