I had to remove it. I really didn't want to put another Spal fan back in only to have it fail again. I was looking for another electric fan for my Jeep when I came across the T-bird fan. The fan blade is very similar to the manual Z blade in design and the shroud was adaptable.
The T-bird fan is a 2 speed, I run the higher speed. It pulls major amps hence the upgraded alt. I've been running it since last fall and it has been consistant and dependable. This summer has been a real test with the near 100 degree temps & Florida humidity.
