They do now starting in 2010,
Regarding underdrive pulleys designed for mustangs, I think I would want to determine the mustang and F-150s stock pulleys are the same diameter. If the truck pulley is larger, the underdrive pulley will slow down accessories more than intended and could cause cooling, charging or a/c idle cooling issues. I found this to be the issue on earlier trucks and used a mustang pulley as a cheap underdrive pulley.

I'm semi-interested in an underdrive pulley set, but figure with amps, I can't afford to slow the alternator down.

Exactly!! That what 75% of the people come here for. Be careful how you use forums as a way to judge a product. Do some research.

The only problems I have heard with efans are from the troyer sets, or something similar. I have not heard ANYONE bitch about the Mark VIII/DC controller set up. Thats is what I am going with. Getting installed today. And they DC controller has a jumper for those who have UDP's installed to have the fan run at 10% when the truck is one.
As for not enough amps, the UDP will run full charge at 850 RPM's. You just alter your idle speed if you are concerned.

Why is that?
The Chase / BP gas / charge card is the #1 rated rewards program several years running now, I have $150 worth od gas cards that just came in the mail yesterday as some of my rewards. I've been getting rewards since 2007 on it, use it for all gas. Get 5% back on any BP store purchase, 2% back on motel/hotel/dining charges, and 1% back on all other purchases. For the first 60 days it was double, or 10% on the gas. When gas was $4, that was $0.40 per gallon back.
No issues, the gas all comes out of huge tanks and once in the truck, then the additives are added that make BP different from Exxon, etc. BP has a good additive package too.
BP outlets aren't owned by BP, they are owned by locals. If it's a boycott your doing, you only hurt those locals and to some very very small extent, the distributor.
So ..... why?

Its seems highly unlike that FoMoCo would produce two different fans during the same years to put one in the Mark VIII and one in the Taurus. I do know there is a single speed and a two speed fan that appears in both cars.
I have been digging the hell out of my new fan btw. Since I am not towing anything more that a atv every now and then, I am very happy

Now consider the Mark VIII had a 280 hp 4v 4.6 and the Taurus a 150 hp 3.0. I would expect that they used different fans in each application.
