Arrow Questions

Posted this in another section and got no results, so here is the copy & paste version of what I had posted earlier....can you guys help me out?


Couple of questions...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Question #1...

Is the Electronic Cooling fan really worth it? Truck is not currently towing anything, but will hopefully soon be towing a 16' Bass Boat. Not really concerned about the towing performance, but I have noticed these engines get hot fast and stay hot for a while before cooling down.


Question #2...

Is a product such as the "Turbonator" really true, or is it a "mythical" upgrade? Already having a K&N FIPK, I am wondering if adding the extra "circulation" of air will actually help anything. Does the product really work?

Thanks in advance!

the fans are a good mod, it can be done for as little as $125, and as much as $500 depending on the route you take, it will let the engine run smoother, quieter, and get just a little more power because it doesnt have to trun the mechanical fan

the turbonator is not worth the sheet metal its made out of

Turbonator...why can't i think of these things like that to sell, i missed out on the pet rock, the magnet for fuel systems and spectrum tape for dash boards...oh well, guess thats why im typing this from work.
I did read a story written by someone who actually did buy one, he said he went to take it out due to the fact it did absolutly did nothing, when he did, 2 of the metal "fins" were missing off of it, and he never did find them.
