Yep, for the aluminum radiator, the 16" will probably fine. I'm just saying that if somebody is replacing the fan on a stock setup (direct replacement, like this thread was originally about), then better to match the diameter as closely as possible to take advantage of the built-in shroud on...

All mechanical fans are pullers. You just have to get the correct direction of rotation.

The only problem I see with that summit fan is the diameter. The stock fan is 20" and that one is only 16". For a direct replacement, you might be better off with the 18.375" one. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/flx-418/overview/

Yup. I've already put 500 miles like this so it should be fine. Definitely appreciate the offer and I will keep it in mind if things get worse. I'm still 300 miles from Texarkana so hopefully my luck holds.

Thanks but not necessary. A turbo is optional on a multifuel. I still have oil pressure, so the only downside is the slower speed and the smoke. I changed the oil and no chunks came out, so I'm good to finish the trip.

Not gonna make it to this one. I'm in the middle of a 1400 mile deuce recovery and won't be back in town till tomorrow night. Oh, and if anybody near Texarkana has a good turbo, mine blew out somewhere back in Illinois. Top speed is down to 53 and she's blowing all kinds of black smoke on...

That seems like a lot of hassle and complexity for 12 horsepower.

Good point. I have had problems with alternators and batteries so I guess I'll stick to an engine-mounted fan.

What's the haps, FMJ? I just discovered today that I need to buy a fan and I'm trying to justify $125 for a nylon one over $35 for a used steel one. I'm also considering about $100 for an electric one.

I'm in. Still no operational MV, though.

Affirmative.

Cool. Let me know if you need help with the muffler or brake line.

Yeah... that's not going to happen. Y'all have fun up there in Freakland, though. :D

I'm in. Did you ever get your truck unloaded?

Y'all never want to come out and play anymore...

Still working on that. Keep watching this thread...

Downright COLD trip!!

Sooo... anybody have a deuce hood for sale? :-\

We skipped the electric heater idea. I figured that with everything that was going wrong, I probably would have set the dang truck on fire or something.
