Spal 6.5" oil cooler fan for 3.2L

O.k. any one have one of these installed on their 3.2L? I have the radiator oil cooler in the front fender and no fan. And although it's never gotten much above 210 for any length of time, I'd like the piece of mind of having one up there.

Just got thru doing a search and didn't find anyone who did, quite a few suggestions for Spal fans tho...

If you bought one who'd you get it from?

Any info is much appreciated !!!

Thanks.

JR-

I'm running a 6.5 SPAL puller fan on top of my radiator in the DSR and it works really well. They are high quality bits. I got it from Off-Road Warehouse here in SD for $72. There are lots of sources on the internet, too. Go to EBay and search on SPAL and you'll find several stores that sell them. One place in Texas was just a little more than ORW, but you had to pay shipping still, so I got mine locally for less.

I passed on the optional mounting kit and went to Industrial Liquidators and got a dash switch and fuse holder and wired it in. It needs a 15-amp fuse. I used nylon thru-bolts right thru the radiator core to mount it with rubber washers and some double-sided foam tape on the contact edge of the fan to cushion it. Works great so far.

TT
