Here's my situation. I picked up two free Flex-a-lite 110s that work fine but simply need new fan blades. The blades only cost $16 to replace. I will be putting in a new radiator in the next couple months, and would like to replace the clutch fan as well with an electric. I live don't live in the south and I don't do any towing so I'm not worried about the absence of the clutch fan being a problem. I also plan on wiring a manual overide switch which is a plus in my book.
My delimma is that I don't feel confident in replacing the clutch fan with a single 110 puller, as the CFM is 1250 and the clutch fan surely exceeds this. However, I was wondering what the effect would be if I were to install one fan as a puller and the other as a pusher. Does this actually increase the flow or would they sorta cancel each other out? I've read that this fan is about 20% less efficient in pusher mode so it seems like the pusher would hinder the pulling ability of the other fan. I would plan on keeping the stock aux fan where it is.
Is anyone knowledgable on this subject, or have any first-hand experience?
Thanks.
