Will I have any cooling problems if I have just the mechanical fan on the engine with no shroud on the radiator, or do I absolutley need an electric fan. I have the 2.4 and am running a radiator from a 240 sx.

My full size did ok with no fan shroud going down the road. If it set runing for more than 5 miniutes it would start to over heat. The shroud is what lets air get pulled throung the radiator, with out it your just blowing air everywhere.

my hardbody would overheat without the shroud too when idling in traffic. "Flexalite" makes a dual 12" electric fan that fits the radiator perfect. bout 200$ from summit. i had a cheap fan from the auto parts store b4 this one and it didnt work very well.

MY F150 DOESN'T OVERHEAT AT ALL IT CAN SIT AND IDLE FOR A HALF HOUR WITHOUT OUT THE SHROUD AND IT WON'T OVERHEAT.
