Guys Ive searched and swore there was a post on changing the Deuce fan out and putting a Duramax fan in its place. Anyone done this ? I cant find the post.. Thanks
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I wouldn't say no chance, seen plenty of them crack then fail horribly. I had one explode on the dyno, took out the radiator, upper and lower hoses, shroud and a mess of wiring. Had the hood have been closed, pieces parts woulda put holes in the fiberglass hood. Dam thing took out my coffee cup I had on the bench 6 feet away!I used a synthetic generic fan from Summit with very satisfactory results. Much less rotating mass and no danger of a fan blade massacring the radiator.

Would you happen to have a part number? Just curiousI used a synthetic generic fan from Summit with very satisfactory results. Much less rotating mass and no danger of a fan blade massacring the radiator.

Steel and aluminum bend when they strike things, yes, sometimes the radiator core gets damaged. Plastic/nylon, once compromised, come apart. On the other hand, I have seen trucks come in with cracked/broken composite fans that when the customer was notified, they just said, yeah, it's been like that for years.OMG!!
I had those visions for the steel fan!

I found the following years ago:It turns the same way as the engine turns. D-Max fan turns opposite engine rotation.
Or a gasser, IIRC they had 460s in the std and dually .I am unsure if the fan clutch is directional.A 96' F-350 so that would probably be a early 7.3 powerstroke, guess ill have to look into that.

KW W900 with a 15l 550 hp Cummins in it. Fans are overdriven so are spinning 1.5 or so faster than the engine.DANG!!!!!I wouldn't have thought you could get a LDT-465 to rev that high.
