stock fan clutch & electric as pusher?

[Elevator Man]

I'm running a stock fan & clutch setup, it cools fine unless i'm in the trail or set and idle for over 5 minutes. I have a 14" pro comp fan (2000 cfm) I am woundering if I could use it as a pusher on the out side of the rad. to help with cooling. Or will it block to much air from the stock fan? Thanks for any advise!!!

I have a similar setup: 14" electric fan as auxiliary pusher. Although I haven't had cooling problems lately, the auxiliary fan helps the temperatures a little when it's slow going on the trail, or when I have the AC on in city traffic in Scottsdale.

Thanks for the input, sounds like thats what I will do. I was planning on hooking it up to a switch and relay so I can turn it on when needed. How did you mount your fan? Mine came with a mounting kit but it looks kinnda cheezy. The little pastic rods you stick through the rad.

What would be the best way to mount it. I dind't like the idea of those things to begin with.

some channel or angle iron spanning from the side to the center brace... or even some healthy flat stock..

Ditto - metal straps/braces.
