Thanks for checking on that for me JBFP. With that measurement neither fan will fit, but I need to measure my shroud when I get home and see if there is some way to graft the 17" Taurus fan, or the 18" MK VIII fan to a stock Montero shroud.

I had a hard time believing the inrush current could be that high also, so I found a video on youtube of someone checking inrush current with that fan on a shunt, and sure enough, the inrush current spiked over 100A. Now, that can be combated with a variable speed controller like Delta Current Control with lessens the strain on start up. Still reading, but I'd like to make this work. I could just drop the radiator 2" and just say the heck with it, but that would be too easy. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Found this post while searching for aux oil cooling ideas:

Found the same fan on ebay for $25, but the motorcycle fan might be a lower cost alternative. Good call.
