I converted from my mechanical fan to electric. This is the 3rd rig I've done this to, the two others were full size diesel trucks.

It's hard saying if the result was a complete success being it's winter. However the results are much quieter in the cab and it feels as though it freed up some power.

Do you have any details on the fan / Thermostat you used? I've done this on a few cars... but never had good results with generic thermostatic switches.

I have heard horrible things about thermostatic switches. I always wire directly to a manual switch and keep an eye on temps. The diesel trucks didn't need the fan much unless I was hauling something on a hot day.

I had one working on my B2 but it wouldn't fit after I put in the thicker radiator.What I like about electric fans is you only run a fan when you need one.When you get it working right thats not really that often.
