    Haha just checking! I do that a lot of times not only to keep the engine cool but the A/C stays much colder too!

    Yes sir, the new Wilson has been good! It's amazing you don't realize how wore out your old stuff is until you get a new one!

    It’s hard to get an electric fan that will move enough air to cool a big semi.
    Why you (often) see electric fans (4 of them) on a KTA is they use a reverse rotation fan, so the blades are pitched the opposite way a “normal” fan, and if you can find one they will want $3,000-$5,000 for it.

    My star is like 1850 square inches. I have no issues with cooling. That’s one of the drawbacks to a Pete and a 900L. You can only get so big with a narrow nose.

    That’s just for the fan, not the cooling pack.
    For reference, I just gave $150 for a brand new, 9 blade, 30” fan for my 359, from Dirks.
     
    cke, Feedman, Cowpuncher575 and 8 others Thank this.
