Explorer fan specs

Post by **rtreads** » Sun Jun 24, 2012 7:19 pm

Does anyone know how "deep" the explorer mech fan is... with the clutch? I am thinking of going back to this from my Taurus fan, but I dont have an explorer fan and I would like to know if it will fit before I buy one.

...finding one to buy is another story.

I just took a rough measurment on mine and it is about 2-3/4" from the pulley out to the end of the clutch housing (which sticks out slightly further than the fan blades)

you can get them at the PNP for about 24 big ones

I might know someone who has one ;)

I might have an extra clutch fan here.

...great. I would love to try it. How much do you want for it? Any parts you need in trade?

These can only be mounted with the Explorer serpentine setup, correct?

If you want to drop by i can give you the fan and we can see if there is anything we can trade. iam in the midst of my EFI build up so have a few things left...

I work from home so Iam here most days and nights, just let me know when you want to drop by.

Hey give me a call/text and we can set it up. Today might work, depending on location.

THANKS!

I suppose you could make an adapter which mounts with the 4 bolts to your water pump and converts it to a threaded stud like on the explorer water pump, but that might be labor intensive???

...if rotation is the same?

V-belt & serp are different rotation.

Here is a clutch fan set up for v-belts. I installed it last winter, and seems to be working good. I haven't run any trails with it, yet. I moved my radiator forward just a bit, by moving my rad mounts to the front of the core support, this set up is just slightly deeper than stock & I'm running a 4 core rad:
