That is becoming an interesting option. I have a fixed fan so it should
clear up a few HP too. It is now turning winter, so no worries until
next summer....

Re: Question Electric fan
The electric fan does run alot quiter than the mechanicle. It will turn on
even after you shut your jeep off though, which is ok becuase it will
continue to cool even after your parked. Just make sure you have a good
battery. When I'm driving the only way I can tell it's come on (cause it's
so quite) is that if I'm at a stop light, the jeep will shimmy for a second
as the engine revs go up a spot to supply the electricity to turn on the
fan. My fan is mounted in the very back of the shroud, near the engine so
it's a good foot away from the radiator.

Re: Question Electric fan
If you don't want this fan 'after-run' you can wire it so it only gets power
when the ignition is on. This is what I did with my first electric fan in
an '84
