I'm glad to hear it's working out for you Josh. Just one qestion though, why? You are a smart guy and therefore of course understand that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can only change form. If you are moving X amount of air, depending of course on the efficiency of the blade design, it will require Y amount of energy. Period. You cannont replace direct mechanical energy with electrical, which incurs greater losses through the <75% efficient conversion from mech-elect.-mech (alternator-motor-fan) than it would through the highly efficient and reliable stock clutch type fan. Maybe your clutch was shot, mine kicks off from a cold start in about 30 secs, and I don't hear it roaring again ever here in Iceland. Even there in the desert it should operate the same way, basically freewheeling at normal operating temps. I think the parasitic losses from mechanical fans are mostly fiction created to sell black magic junk. I have heard great stuff about OEM type fans like the Taurus one you have though, If I ever had a need for an electric you would see me at the pick and pull :-) Stay cool <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
