looking for the best electric fan , my factory set up seems like the bearing wont hold up to high rpm,s and i have gone through 3 clutch/viscous fans in 10 thousand miles,it gets very hot in traffic, as i street the car alot any suggestions would be great!

Interesting that the clutch fans are breaking down so quik. Thought to do that setup for the original look. What brand(s) are you dealing with?

For what it's worth, a couple of years ago I had cooling problems also. Went out and replaced everything, radiator, heater core, (both Modine OEM style), water pump, etc.. even a new flex fan an it fixed the problem. Small block with the big radiator though.

I also had cooling problems when the clutch fan very suddenly broke during a local cruising this last summer! I totally lost faith of stock clutch type fans and got an electric fan to my stock radiator. The fan is from a Volvo V70 and works great! This spring i only have to solve my location of sensor to regulate the on/off. I still runs without automatic switch for that..

Drew, I heard the Spal electric fans pull/push more air than anything else.

yes i have had problems with the clutches going out quite alot on alot of my mopars,they lose viscosity, and dont spin fast enough , and eventually wobble, i tried different brands and they dont last, i have a new aluminum radiator, flush the coolant, once a year,i think i will go the electric fan , i did look at that site ed, and the have alot of fans , now i need to figure the best fan for my car! thanks u guys for the input

Fit something with a shroud. Twin fans are better.

Ditto. I use a kit from Summit, twin 10" on an aluminum shroud.

Also get a good thermal regulator, electric fans (or mechanical fans for that matter) are virtually useless above 20mph, and vital below.
