are you having overheating problems?

dual electric fans were used on the 350 tpi cars.. but really the passengers side fan is only a back up, turn off at like 238... or when using a/c...

however i hardly even use the drivers side fan because i do mostly highway miles to work and since its winter i dont get high enough to turn on the drivers fan...

so they are good to have if you want someback up just incase..

dual elec fans came on all TPI cars, and mine just fried out and i thought the passenger side(secondary) turned ON at 233.....and the driverside(primary) turned on slightly before or after.

thanks my car was not overheating but was running realy close to it though. i was going to run both fans at the same time for extra cooling but wasnt sure if it was a wast of time.or putting the second fan on a togle and using it when needed..

Sorry, dual fans did not come on all tpi cars...only 350s. Anyway, YES dual fans make a difference.
