Electric Radiator Fan for a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder

Question:

I have a 1995 nissan pathfinder 6 cyl. 4X4 auto trans. and I need to know what e-fan would be best to replace the manual fan. I live in a hot climate Arizona and tow a trailer with quads. I need a fan setup that has auto control feature. Install and forget it. Thanks.

The type of electric fan you use in your 1995 Nissan Pathfinder is going to depend on how much space is available under the hood. There are fans as small as 4 inches diameter and 2-3/8 inches deep and as large as 32 inches and 3-1/4 inches deep.

There is likely more space in front of the radiator than behind it. A fan such as # D18217 is 17 inches in diameter and 2-5/8 inches deep. You would need to measure the available space to determine if this fan will fit or if you need to go smaller or larger.

For a thermostat that will automatically turn the fan on when the temperature reaches 180 degrees use # D16735.
