I'm looking into getting an electric fan, and running it with a DCC (http://www.dccontrol.com/index.htm). I know the better (and cheaper) route is to pick up a Taurus 3.8L fan or a Mark VIII fan. I would much rather do this than spend $200 on a Flex-a-lite.
So which is a better fan to go with? If I go with a Taurus fan, can it be from any taurus with a 3.8L? Or is it just from specific years? I found this taurus fan on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33710&item=7966363316&rd=1 Would this be a good fan to run with a DCC? The price is right at $39.99.
Then, I found this Mark VIII fan: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...ry=33600&item=7966316115&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
That one looks good too, but why is the bid at $70 already? Is it a better fan than the taurus fan?
My other question is, what's with all the different sizes? The taurus 3.8L fan is 20x10x5, the Mark VIII fan is 23 x 18 3/4 x 6, while the Flex-a-lite fan from summit is only 15" in diameter. The bigger the fan, the better it works or what?
Sorry if this is a stupid thread, but I am really confused about the whole fan issue, and I just want to pick up a cheap fan that will work well with the DCC, and maybe help me free up a few HP. Can any of you guys point me in the right direction?
BTW, I was going to refer back to all the previous electric fan threads that I have read, but those didn't seem to make it through the STANGNET SERVER CRASH OF 2005.
