2005 Buick Rainier 5.3 AWD 142k miles
My stock fan clutch likes to fully engage for no apparent reason. It's 20-40 degrees outside right now and my fan keeps engaging. Sometimes for 3 minutes sometimes for 30 or more. Anywho this is getting old. Stealing power and plummeting my mileage.
I've read about electric fans and mechanical clutches. Pros and cons for both??
I think I would prefer the electric fan idea. However I've read that it can be tricky with the ac. Is there no way to activate the fan off the stock wiring? I would prefer not to wire it to the a/c clutch. I can't fathom spending 200 on the wiring harness from pcmofnc. I have access to a tuner to turn off the CEL. The extra 1 MPG claimed would be nice and getting the extra HP gains sound good too.
