Thread: Converting to all electric fans

The viscous ones just dont last anymore, mine, my fathers and my mates all the same.....if you would like to buy a used one i can do you a real good deal!
It is my understanding[possibly wrong] that the viscous slips when the revs are high? try towing a heavy trailer up the Maleny range and not cooking your engine, flick the switch and your thermos are pulling a lot of air through at the bottom of the range giving a huge head start over the viscous keeping the engine cool[high revs and very low speed doesnt agree with viscous fan]

ok, but I am not going to change any time soon. My mechanic said we should change the viscous thermo, I said your the expert, do it. New viscous thermo fan, should do for another 200k km.
