Junkyard E-fan
Two issues
1: Fan must be rated at 4000 CFM+ to be a direct swap for the stock mechanical fan. I run out in the Mohave in the Summer and see 125+ degrees in freeway and stop & go traffic so I cannot accept a decreased cooling capacity
2: 85 AMP startup draw which with the fan only cycling on for 5-10 seconds under normal conditions and off for a minute, will prematurely wear out the fan motor and whatever relay or continous-duty solonoid.
I still contend that the fan controller is the "ideal" setup, though I wholeheartedly agree with not throwing tons of money at this unless no other truly viable long-term option exists.
