Finally got my car to stay cool with only $50 invested. stock radiator stock water pump 160* thermostat Ford Taurus cooling fan bought off eBay for $50 It's really that simple... I know this has been discussed many times before on here but I just put one of these Taurus fans onto my car and all my overheating issues have gone away. Prior to this I was running the stock dual TPI fans and the car would always overheat at idle & low speeds even in colder weather. I always just dealt with it because I didn't really drive the car that often and didn't want to fork out hundreds of dollars on a new cooling system but a few weeks ago I bought this fan and decided to give it a whirl... Took like 20 minutes to install and almost looks like it belongs there stock. Conveniently, a day after installing it the transmission in my daily driver died so I'm forced to use the camaro as my only form of transportation for the time being... I've put about 600 miles on it since in all sorts of driving conditions and the temp gauge stays right at 160 no matter what. https://i40.tinypic.com/24euued.jpg https://i41.tinypic.com/2d26ot1.jpg Just throwing this out there for you guys with cooling problems. My car has been 11.20's @ 121mph on motor and weighs 3495lbs so it makes some decent power - If this simple setup can keep my car cool it should do the trick for most others. |
Re: Finally got my car to stay cool with only $50 invested. what year ford taurus am i to look for? |
Re: Finally got my car to stay cool with only $50 invested. 1990-95 with the 3.8L or SHO v6-these fans have a big 2 speed motor,not sure how much current they pull on high speed but it might be around 25-30a-a wiring upgrade might be needed. I have one of these fans in my parts stash-might have to drag out and test the current draw:thumbsup: |
Re: Finally got my car to stay cool with only $50 invested. Any issues mounting it or advice? How did you wire it for the 2 speeds or is it all or none? |

Re: Finally got my car to stay cool with only $50 invested. Just noticed your post regarding this Taurus fan. My 2 fan setup died today. Did you have any issues with the wiring harness or did you have to cut and splice for it to go on? |
