I'm running no fan at all in my truck. 99% of the time temps are normal. One time I was doing some heavy pulling through a field- slow- and it got hot. Rare occurance for me.

A squirter or a fan would have been nice then. I'd probably have to run alcohol in it, though, so the squirter system doesn't freeze up and break. Fan it is then. Squirters might be a good idea in warmer climates tho'. Fans are just going to be more trouble-free; never have to replenish anything.

Maybe test pulling the wire off your fan, or even pulling the fan off.. maybe you don't even need a squirter?
