If the fan is at all spinning (which it always is), then the clutch is engaged and is drawing power from the engine.Plus that a fan clutch can start to engage while the engine is still warming up.
Are you aware that you can edit your posts?"Whoever" not however, sorry about the typo above.
I can speak for myself. When you post on a public site it's usual to expect comments - even ones that don't fit into your opinion. If you can't handle that then I suggest associating with people who only agree with you.So however reads this I apologize for that one special individual that ruins other people's threads.
That's an incomplete assumption and could lead to improper fan selection - if I can chance ruining this thread again. Fan design is not just about diameter. It's also about pitch angle and surface area and blade design and rpm. If fact no one knows the OEM fan CFM, which would make choosing the correct aftermarket at lot easier. So it's a bit of a guessing game also given that fan design is coupled with rad design to provide the correct cooling. You need to know the correct CFM. Clutch fans also are variable rpm while efans are mostly single speed, except that some can be duel fixed speed, or with more expensive controllers, have some variability.If you get anything from this, I hope that you realize that if you get the proper oem fan off an engine of similar size or larger that will cool your engine just fine.
No but it's not that big of a deal.Are you aware that you can edit your posts?
Ultra sensitive and defensive? Exaggerate much? What's being objected to is the book-learned experts that just have to clog up threads by throwing their expert advice into the mix about things that they've never actually done for themselves, and then blaming others for the strife that they themselves are causing in the threads. Does the shoe fit?It's difficult to maintain any discussion with posters who are hyper sensitive and ultra defensive about being asked to verify....
Whether the mods work out or not, doing mods to our Rangers is also about having fun, and what with worrying about fan blade pitch angles and cost/benefit ratios you sound like you're way to anal to have any fun tinkering with your truck, so why even bother participating in a forum like this? Just leave your Ranger stock and enjoy it for what it is and let those of us that like to mod our trucks, whether the mods work out or not, have our fun. Is that too much to ask?Assessing conversions (responding to posts) is also about cost/benefit, getting it right with as little experimentation and risk as possible, and the increased potential of something going wrong given that efans have more components that could fail.
A-w-w-w-w, you got your feelings hurt in another thread after being reprimanded for posting your political nonsense, so you felt the need to come over here and retaliate and mess up this thread. Poor baby. Do us all a favor and suck it up and act like an adult, OK?Me, I'm just bummed that whole teams of "book-learnin" Mechanical Engineers at FoMoCo "missed" this "obvious" boost to their CAFE numbers, which they are always under pressure from mgt. to increase... esp. since they have so much experience using e-fans on this same (Vulcan) block in other Ford apps... theyz B dumb fer shure...![]()
Nice numbers, Chris. I've never gotten more than 24 mpg with my Ranger.Filled up this morning 27 mpg. Man I love being badass.
Lulz... your ego is tiny... NOT. My "feewings" are not affected, one way or another, by ASCII char strings from complete strangers on duh interwebs. Your post here is as absurd and INCONGRUOUS as your response to my 4-YEAR OLD(!) post in evanesce69's E85 conversion thread. I note also that you completely ignored the rollicking good-natured rapport I was having with evan, the O.P.--who, BTW, is totally sympatico with me politically--or did that banter just sail clean over your head?A-w-w-w-w, you got your feelings hurt in another thread after being reprimanded for posting your political nonsense, so you felt the need to come over here and retaliate and mess up this thread. Poor baby. Do us all a favor and suck it up and act like an adult, OK?![]()
