Why Conversion To Electric
For improved fuel mileage? You're kidding right. In a 6,000 lb. non aerodynamic vehicle you really think removing a belt driven fan with properly functioning clutch is going to make any noticeable difference? Not a chance.

For more power by eliminating the stock belt driven fan? You're kidding right. How much power do you think it takes to turn the stock belt driven fan with properly functioning clutch? Only about 1 HP at cruising speed would be my guess.

To turn it off for deep water? Getting close. That's probably one of the better reasons for converting to electric from the stock belt driven fan.

But the reason I converted to the electric fan was because it was a good time to do so since the stock belt driven fan clutch seized up and for the "cool" project factor.
