Q: How do you install a radiator fan?
A: Radiator fans are installed behind your factory or aftermarket radiator using plastic or steel clips (which are included with most fans).
Q: Do radiator fans fit all vehicles?
A: Most radiator fans are universal and fit most cars; however, there are car-specific applications available as well.
Q: What is a radiator fan? Why buy a radiator fan?
A: Your car's mechanical cooling fan requires a significant amount of engine power to keep it moving. This puts stress on your engine and sucks power from places where it could be better used, such as your wheels or power train. What you need is an electric fan. They provide quieter, more efficient engine cooling and allow you to control the speed of the fan for different applications. You'll get torque and horsepower gains from using an electric fan, while improving your gas mileage.
