Thanks. I'm not a big fan of flex fans. I had one come apart on me years ago and go right through my hood.As it says above, some time ago, I tried 2 small electrics ... they couldn't keep up when it REALLY got hot.
About 6 months ago, I ended up installing this:

Twenty three bucks.
You have to do a little trimming to make it fit.
It weighs about 2 pounds so it saves quite a bit over the stock fan.
Keeps the engine cool and reduces parasitic drag. I saw about one MPG gain in fuel. It works.
No good if you plan to go through deep water a lot. I don't, so its good for me.
