Re: Underdrive Q
#1: You should be fine, lots of folks do "partial underdrive" you just wont free up quite as much hp (nominal difference)
#2: Honestly, I dont know much about what crawlers need to be able to do. If I was in doubt, I would err on the side of caution. Too much cooling?Good. Not enough? Bad.  J

Re: Underdrive Q
well basically it will be at an idle almost for a long period of time, just dont want to boil over crawling up a trail. might as well install the electric fan just to be safe.
i didnt choose to put these on the truck for more power, but they came on the motor.

Re: Underdrive Q
why not leave the stock belt driven fan on and install a pusher electric fan in front of the radiator? run the electric fan off a thermostat or put your own toggle switch for total control, or both!

Re: Underdrive Q
actually, that is a good idea. i may just have to do this. ive got a tarus fan, but its a puller fan, so i dont think i can reverse the current flow and run it as a pusher, or can i?
