Would this E-fan work
My bro works at O'Reilly's Auto parts and told me today that he could get me a great deal on an electric fan for my truck ($50). The fan has a diameter of 16" Fans rpm is 2000rpm@13.5VDC Airflow rate is 2000 and it draws 11 amps. Its made by Bullett its called a Pro-Air Electric Fan (straight blade)
Will this give me enough cooling power, I figure it will because it would be a larger diameter than the stock fan. Also will loosing 11 amps dim my lights or put strain on my alternator, or will it be just fine?

The stock mech-fan pulls close to 5000 CFM.....as long as you don't do any heavy towing you should be fine with the single electric fan but with the a/c on towing a trailer you WILL overheat

As hot as it gets in the summer where you're at, I wouldn't think it'd be enough. You generally get what you pay for. I would stick with LS1 or Flex-a-lite fans.

What about duel 12" fans would that work. Look on ebay under Electric Fans an it should have a couple listings of 12" duel electric fans for like $69. let me know because I'm wanting them real bad so I can install a better intake I designed for better air flow.
