I have a 5.8 that was not staying coolw/the stock set up so I replaced it w/a Taurus fan using the parts in this link:

Worked good for a while then coolant spilled on the relay. I got another one and it quit too. A buddy replaced it with a regular Ford starter selonoid and now it works. On the down side, I hear the selonoid click under the hood as the fan comes on and then everything (lights) will dim and the volts drop down to just above 13. Is this OK?
