did you notice if EGT were lower to? Well i guess that would only work if you had a IC. Thought I would ask was not sure if you have a IC or not.
6.0 fan on OBS Results....

yes I have an IC (Banks), ..... but nope, I was watching the water temps, and the oil temps on my scanner, and wasn't watching the EGT, so I can't really say....stands to reason that it would be a tad cooler whenever the fan was ON tho.... which would be a good thing

Thanks. Was wondering if you tested it or not.

I really haven't yet, just ran it up a 7% grade here close to the house, to make sure it was fulla water, and cooled properly.....definitely seems to cool better, and the engine is smoother also, the metal fan musta been outta balance some..... I put one of Joey's 180 degree thermostats in it a couple days later, and will be testing the results this May with the 5er on behind, and will post up what I find then.

Sounds good! I might have to do this if I dont go with E-fans. Did you notice and increase or loss of MPGs??

haven't had it on long enough to check.....
all I do normally with the truck is tow the 5er, I don't use it as a daily driver.

ok It would not be much if any gain or loss. I would think it might gain a little though.

well, I don't know about that, but I really like how smooth it is....the metal fan just seemed to chop the air to pieces, and this
one is more like a huge vacuum cleaner, just lotsa suction.....

From what I've read there is not enough room for the 6.0L clutch. Cheers!

What about from a van? Not sure if the 6.0 vans have the same type of clutch as the trucks, but I know the 7.3 vans have a much shorter fan clutch on them for clearance

I don't see where the 6.0 clutch is any better than the 7.3 clutch anyhow ? maybe I'm missing something, but mine works great, and I'm VERY pleased with it.
in the morning, after sitting all night, the fan will run for a bit, until the oil "Throws" out of the clutch, you can rev it up to about 1400 RPM and hear it,
(takes a bit longer if it's real cold, because the oil is also cold), but then it doesn't pull enough air to put in your hat. I can see where in the really cold country
it could be a problem, and if I lived in Michigan or someplace cold, I'd probably take the fan off for the winter if I wasn't going to tow anything.
