cooling fan question

Larry Hill · 03-03-2024, 08:18 AM

When racing the truck I was told that I had to have a fan. I had a stock water pump with the standard tooth belt and auxiliary 12 volt motor. Tech said go buy a fan and I did and install it. The fan added about 12 OZ to the nose of the truck. It was not any faster or slower with the fan and with the engine being a v6 the blades were so far away they did not generate any air flow across the radiator core.
But to race I had to follow instructions.
