• Does a 1966 Chevy II with 230 Cubic Inch Straight 6 have Standard or Reverse Fan Rotation
• If you are standing in front of the car facing the motor check to see which way the fan turns. If it turns clockwise then it is standard rotation. If it turns counter-clockwise then it is reverse rotation. Once you have determined the rotation of your fan you can choose a replacement by going by the size of the old fan. I have linked our FAQ article on belt-driven fans for you to view.

• What is the Advantage to Switching to a Derale Thermostat Fan Control on a 2006 Polaris Sportsman
• A stock thermostat that is similar to the Derale Premium, Single-Stage Thermostat, # D16735, might have different temperature settings. This one kicks on at 180 degrees and turns off at 165 degrees. This will help to save power. The 40/60-amp relay harness is probably more heavy duty than the stock one and it has probe options (thread-in and push-in options). Of course the thermostat kit is only as good as the fan you are using. The fan may have been replaced as well and if so that is normally d

• Will the Derale Radiator Race Fan # D17420 Replace the Factory Fan in a 1988 Ford F-250
• The Derale 20 Inch Race Fan, # D17420, has a 19-7/8 inch diameter so it will fit within your 22 inch shroud. One thing to keep in mind with this fan is that it is a race fan which means it will require you to remove your fan clutch as well. It is designed to pull more air as your engines RPMs increase and not to be regulated by a clutch. Removing the factory clutch will effect the length of the spacer that you need. Once you have the clutch removed, you will want to measure from the water pu

• Can the Positive and Negative Leads be Switched to Reverse Fan Rotation on Radiator Fan # D18914
• The Derale electric fan, # D18914, is a pusher or puller fan. To reverse the rotation, you would switch the wire leads. I tested it myself just to be certain and sure enough when the leads were switched the fan spun in the opposite direction. I do not think you will be able to use a PWM system with this fan. You would need some sort of control module and the fan is not designed for pulses of voltage as it will not sustain operation unless a constant 12 volts is applied to it. To control t

• Speed Shut Off of Derale Adjustable Fan-Control Thermostat # D16789
• The Derale Adjustable Fan Control Thermostat you referenced, part # D16789 will not shut off at a certain vehicle speed, but at an adjustable fluid temperature. The temperature at which the fan turns on is adjustable between 150-240 degrees Fahrenheit. The fan automatically shuts off once the fluid cools by 10 degrees. So, say you set the thermostat to turn the fan on once the coolant reaches 190 degrees. At 190, it would turn on and run until the coolant reached 180 degrees.

• Transmission Cooler Recommendations for a 2008 Ford F-150

The benefit is that you can mount this type of cooler where you have space and you will receive the optimum amount of cooling.

• Typically, a small block V8 engine would need 2,200 to 3,000 CFM. A big block V8 would need 3,400 to 4,500 CFM. I recommend going with the highest CFM in a fan that will fit in the available space on your Ford F-250. The fan that you have referenced, # D16934, would be plenty of air flow. This fan is designed as a puller only, and gets mounted behind the radiator to pull air through.

• In regards to fans, it is not the size that matters it is the airflow. Electric fans are not necessarily vehicle specific. If you have # D16908 that you have referenced, it puts out 450 cubic feet of air per minute. This is not very much and a fan that can generate more would be needed. Typically, a 6 cylinder motor requires 1,600 to 2,000 cubic feet per minute. The fans that you could use largely depends on the space you have in the engine compartment to mount them.

• Is there a Direct Fit Electric Fan Kit for a 1987 Chevrolet Pickup
• Direct fit kits are not typically available when swapping from mechanical to electric fans. The best thing to do is measure the backside of your radiator and figure out how much space you have. The kit you were looking at has an overall dimension of 31-3/8 inches wide, 15-3/4 inches tall, and 3-1/4 inches deep. Provided you have enough room for this assembly to fit, it should be able to be installed with no problem. Since you want a fan kit with that is controlled via a thermostatic switch I

• Can I Use a Derale Electric Fan Even if The Temperatures do not Match My Vehicle Thermostat
• The Derale 16 Inch Dyno-Cool fan should work fine for you. The 192 degree thermostat means that coolant in your motor is kept in the engine block until the water hits 192 degrees. At that point the thermostat opens and allows the coolant to begin flowing through the radiator. When the 192 degree coolant gets into the radiator, it will hit the temperature probe for the the fan and it will kick on. The fan will continue to run until the probe reads 165 degrees. The thermostat may already be closed

• Is a Fan Shroud Needed When Installing Electric Fans In a Sandrail
• Whether or not you will need a shroud depends on how you are building the sandrail. If your rail is going to be open air, a fan shroud probably will not be needed to aid the cooling process. The Derale Tornado fans have a bit of a shroud built in, and they are close enough to the radiator that an additional shroud should not be needed. The 14 inch Tornado fans you found would work fine. You could probably even go a bit smaller depending on how much airflow your radiator will be getting. You

• Can I Swap My Fan Clutch for a Unit That Engages at a Lower Temperature to Help My Car Run Cooler
• The Derale Clutch, part # D22022 will be a direct replacement for your fan clutch. All the clutches distributed and sold here in the U.S. follow a standard engage and disengage temperature. They engage at 180 degrees farenheit, and disengage at 170 degrees. I do not know if the 176 figure in your numbers indicate temperature or not. The clutch still has an engage at 180 and disengage at 170 and there are not clutches available, unless custom made by a machine shop, that will have different temp
