I have one on my 91 F-Superduty, a service truck that I use very often. It’s heavy by itself, and a beefy bumper pull trailer loaded down adds to the strain. I’ve blown a few radiators up, but that doesn’t seem to be due to overheating. Even pulling heavy, I rarely get above 210*. I have a FlowKooler water pump, and currently a Mishimoto radiator, got tired of exploding plastic tanks on the Napa radiators, I think they’re having quality issues with them. My Mishimoto already leaks, but that’s due to my own stupidity… left a socket under the hood that met the fan, and the fan introduced the socket to one of the radiator cores. I patched it, but it still has a bit of a weep. Moving forward, I’ll probably drop the extra coin on brass radiators.
With the fan off though, it heats up quick, since I’ve added a 90 cc injection pump, and then proceeded to max out the screw after install. Hypermax turbo with intercooler. That fan and clutch is an awesome combo, keeps it cooled down, especially with the 5.13 gears, it runs pretty high RPM, which adds to water temp.
10/10 would recommend the fan and clutch kit, it’s not cheap, but worth every penny if you ask me.
I have another one of these kits on the shelf, it will go on my 94, but that project got more involved, complicated, time consuming and expensive than originally intended… due to cool people making even more cool stuff for me to spend money on… what was originally going to be a 94 F350 C&C is becoming a 94 F-Superduty 4x4… found someone who makes hubs for the Dana 60 that mount up the 10x7.25 rims. And since I have a spare rolling chassis from an F-Superduty… well… lets just say I’m willing to make it more expensive to make it more capable… gonna regear to 4.30, and the 110 cc pump and R&D 093 turbo with 99-03 PSD intercooler will add LOTS of heat… so that fan and clutch kit will be a necessity on that truck as well… oh and the E4OD plan I had got axed due to a lucky purchase of an Allison 1000 series still in the original crate, on the like whoa cheap. It’ll still be more expensive than the E4OD, because now I’m gonna need to give money to CA Conversions for a swap kit… but yeah, anyways, that fan and clutch kit will be an essential part of the cooling system for this… unorthodox beast… and has been essential for my current truck.
