Fwiw, someone * years ago dyno'd a type 2 engine fan/alternator combo on a drag car and found it used about 15 hp IIRC. On the ranger, currents to idle with the PS pump and alternator calculate to be about 10 hp so I can see consuming 10 with cooling alone.

*HOT VW magazine perhaps?

I agree the porsche fan could be altering local flow but 35 horse to run it seems a bit steep.
