Hi,

I am new to this forum, I am new to a 2004 F-150 5.4l, and I have some doubts.
I bought my truck with a lot of time to be saving. I bought it at an opportunity, the engine is damaged, and at this moment, it is in the repair phase.
I have a question to replace the clutch fan with electric fans. I have read many places, and I see several options; I believe it must be at least 2500 cfm.
What fan diameter do you recommend?
How many fans are recommended?
How should they be located if they are two fans?

I hope you can help me; I know that this is the most experienced forum on the web.

 

Question is why do you want to change?
Electric fans need a controller.
They are not just on full time.
They also draw a lot of current at start up then reduce the draw.
Bottom line is the initial cost and control gets pricey and obviously needs to be reliable, sized correctly and operate intermittently as needed in winter and summer with A/C and night lighting power draw conditions.
So you see, it's not as simple as you might think. Even Alternator size can enter into the equation as well as battery size capacity..
The original clutch fan covers it all.

 

I am located on the border with Reynosa, I drive daily for work, and I have to cross the international bridge. The line to cross has a waiting time of approximately 4 hours.
This is my biggest concern (Engine Cooling system). I already bought a new water pump, radiator, and only the fan part is missing.
Use the clutch or electric?

Thanks for answering.
