If Caseywan still have the ramchargers I'd check with him and see about the measurements and such and order a DCcontroler to go with what ever you choose.

Yep, I sell both the 98+ Ramchargers and the pre-98 Ramchargers. Difference between the two is:

The 98+ are a little better built fans - better plastic, better brand motors, and same depth all the way across the fan (3 5/8"). They are nicer looking and a little better built, the only downside is that they only flow about 3000CFM. But I have known them to cool 500+rwhp rides though.

The pre-98 fans have a little bit cheaper of plastic and have a brand of motor that is not as popular (no-name brand built by Mopar but really no problems with them), and the motors on them are a little taller than the shroud but is usually easily worked around because it is 3"slim in the middle where it counts. The upside is that the pre-98 fans flow much higher CFM the the 98+ fans, somwhere around 4000CFM.

Most all electric fans can be either pushers or pullers you should just need to switch the two wires coming from the fan motor and that should reverse the direction. That is if you absolutely have to do it that way.

Actually you can make the fans turn the opposite way, but it would not turn it into a Pusher as the Blades are made to be rotated a specific way. A Pusher fan needs to be mounted on the Fwd Side of the Radiator to Push air through.

Any fan blade itself works fine in either direction but that's a bad idea to begin with and simply switching the wires is a worse idea. There are boxes made to convert a puller to pusher or vice versa, but the brushes in a fan motor are only made to turn one direction and reversing it significantly reduces the lifespan of the fan. Sometimes after reversing a fan they only last for a few months.

Here's one

I used one from Dynamic racing products. They say it is rated for 800hp. (I think thats a little high, but that's just me). I have aproxx 425hp and it cools great. I would get one without the electric fan next time because I had problems with it. It started spinning real slow then stopped and when I took it apart, one of the solder joints had came apart. As I was messing with it two more solder joint came apart. Anyway, just my $.02. Good Luck
