Expert Answers about Chevrolet Radiator Fans


  • Can you Sandwich Cooling Fans Between Coolers
  • As long as the Flex-a-lite Dual 15" S-Blade Electric Radiator Fans with Shroud Assembly part # FLX293 was mounted in front of the radiator and transmission cooler in a way that pulled air through the fan into the coolers than you would not need to remove the factory clutch and radiator fans as both the factory cooling fans are set to pull air into the coolers. However, if the Flex-a-lite Dual 15" S-Blade Electric Radiator Fan was mounted in front of the radiator and transmission coolers...

  • For your 1993 Olds Bravada with a 4.3L V6, you will want to use a fan that is rated for 1,600 to 2,000 cubic feet per minute. If you are going to be using the vehicle for towing, the higher rated fan is recommended for additional airflow. There is no custom fit electric radiator fan for your vehicle, so you will need to measure what diameter fan will fit on your radiator. The dimensions for our electric fans are listed in the specifications on our website. If you have room for a 17 inch...

  • Position of the Fans in Derale Dual High-Output Electric Radiator Fan-and-Shroud Assembly # D16927
  • I spoke with my contact at Derale and he stated that on the Dual High-Output, Electric Radiator Fan-and-Shroud Assembly, # D16927, the fan on the driver side would be in the upper position making the fan on the passenger side in the lower position. This fan is a puller, meaning that it mounts between the radiator and the engine and pulls air through the radiator. You will need to make sure that you have enough clearance to install the fan. It is 3-3/4 inches wide, 18 inches tall, and...

  • Dual Radiator Fan for 2010 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
  • Radiator fans are not vehicle-specific so you only need to have enough room in your 2010 Chevy Silverado 2500HD for it to fit. The Derale 24" Dual, High-Output Electric Radiator Fan w/ Aluminum Shroud # D66831 you referenced measures 24" Wide x 15-1/2" tall x 4-1/2" deep and if you take a look at the cut out I added from the instruction manual you can see where this fan will need to fit.

  • Electric Radiator Fans Compatible With 24 Volt Systems
  • I reached out to my contact at Derale, and all of the Derale products including the 17" High-Output, Electric Radiator Fan w/ Aluminum Shroud Assembly - 2,400 CFM # D16816, are only compatible with 12V. I do have another option for you. The closest fan we have to what you are looking for is the Flex-a-lite 16" Trimline Reversible Electric Radiator Fan - 24V # FLX11624. Although this is 1 inch smaller, it will work well with a 24V system. You may also be interested in the Mounting Feet...

  • Dual Electric Radiator Cooling Fan Setup for a 1971 Dodge Demon
  • The fan shroud on the Derale High-Output, Dual Radiator Fan-and-Shroud Assembly part # D16812 is about 1-1/4" thick but the space between the fans is only about 2". Therefore, I would not recommend going this route. Unfortunately, due to the 2-3/8" of clearance from the radiator to the outer knob on the water pump, your options for a puller electric fan setup is almost non existent. Therefore I have two options for you. The first option you have would be to replace the water pump pulley...

  • Can an Electric Radiator Fan be Installed in a 2008 Chevy Express 3500
  • First, you will need to determine if you can fit a puller style electric fan such as # FLX264 between the radiator and the motor. A puller fan like this sits behind the vehicle radiator and pulls air through. You would need to have greater than 4-1/2 inches of depth for this fan to fit. It is also 27 inches across and 29 inches tall. Provided you have the space you can use it on your 2008 Chevy Express 3500. If there isn't enough space behind the radiator you could mount a pusher fan in...

  • Radiator Fan For 1998 Dodge Durango
  • Since fans are not vehicle specific, choosing a fan for your 1998 Dodge Durango will depend on a couple of things.

  • Will the Derale Radiator Race Fan # D17420 Replace the Factory Fan in a 1988 Ford F-250
  • The Derale 20 Inch Race Fan, # D17420, has a 19-7/8 inch diameter so it will fit within your 22 inch shroud. One thing to keep in mind with this fan is that it is a race fan which means it will require you to remove your fan clutch as well. It is designed to pull more air as your engines RPMs increase and not to be regulated by a clutch. Removing the factory clutch will effect the length of the spacer that you need. Once you have the clutch removed, you will want to measure from the water...

  • Parts Needed to Install Two Single/Dual Stage Radiator Cooling Fans
  • There are typically two types of radiator cooling fans; single stage fans and dual stage fans. Most single stage fans operate at one speed (high) whereas dual stage fans operate at two speeds (high/low). The Derale 40/60-Amp Dual Relay Wiring Harness part # D16765 will allow you to install both single and dual stage fans but will not convert a single stage fan into a dual stage fan. The Derale 14" High-Output, Electric, Single Radiator Fan part # D18214 is a dual stage fan than can be...

  • Can you Mount the Flex-a-Lite Flex-Wave Electric Fan and Keep your Clutch Fan
  • I spoke with Flex-a-Lite to check on this for you. The 16" Flex-Wave Electric Fan, part # FLX236, is a universal fit, so it will definitely work with your radiator by mounting to the core. To use this as a puller, you will need to mount it behind the radiator. As for keeping your clutch fan, Flex-a-Lite stated that you will need to measure your available space. There will need to be at least 1" between the clutch fan and this fan. Keep in mind that this fan is 3-3/4" deep, so make sure...

  • How To Increase Cooling Power for a 1999 Dodge Dakota R/T
  • I do have a way to help cool down your 1999 Dodge Dakota R/T but the 5/8" pilot hole of the Derale 18" Rigid, Aluminum-Blade Race Fan - Belt Driven part # D17518 will be much too small to work with the factory fan clutch. Instead, I recommend first removing the factory clutch fan and installing the Derale 12" High-Output, Electric Radiator Fan part # D16925. This radiator fan will attach directly to your vehicle's radiator and will provide up to 2,150 CFM which will be more than sufficient...

The dual fan setup also gives you a smaller profile and offsets the high points of the motors. The entire setup is 26-1/4" wide, 15-1/2" tall and 2-5/8" deep at the tallest point.
