I have considered the Taurus fans as well. I like the simplicity of the mechanical fan. Even if it does use up a bit of gas.

The stock 130A alternator is at it's limit now. Plus, being 14 years old ... not sure how much more it can take.

I have even heard of people gaining gas mileage from getting new battery cables.

I have a bumper that weighs > 100 pounds (it takes two people to move it). 3/16'' steel with very long unibody tie in brackets. No noticeable fuel economy change.

The Cherokee fan is only around a foot or so. Not huge like on normal vehicles haha. The radiator is super small
