Re: Deciding on a fan switch!

I guess look at it this way...

With a 195 thermostat and a 195/1785 fan switch,, the fans will come on as the motor warms up, and never go off. Which honestly will likely be the case anyways so doesn't matter. Electric fans (even on a switch) simply are not as efficient at pulling heat out of the radiator as the stock STEEL fan and thermal clutch.
Just remember, a cheep fan will have rpm and cfm at the sacrifice of a HIGH amp draw. You over tax the electrical system to drive a couple of inefficient fans and you have accomplished little more than robbing power from peter to pay spal <grins>
