One of my friends was saying that he is sure a For Tauras(sp?) fan would work for my truck. I asked him how much air it moved, so he looked it up. It was like 2500, 4500 on high. I'm just like yea, might not work out so well

I'm not sure where your friend got his CFM data for the Taurus fan but man, it ain't anywhere close to 4500 cfm on high! More like 2800 real world cfm on high. And it won't come anywhere close to cooling your CTD when towing with the AC on.

Yea i just laughed at him and said i don't want an electric fan on my truck. Besides it would take a pretty large amount of juice to turn 10000
