look at the cooling fan behind the radiator. does it have a belt running to it that connects to the other items on the motor or is it electric and have wires running to a motor if you have a manual clutch on the fan run by the motor then switching to an electric fan setup will free up some hp and give you better economy. it doesnt add hp....but you will feel more. less work for the motor = increased economy. -- ------------------------------------------ laszlo almasi ----cool toys formerly carolina watercraft works ----mack daddy trailers ----ice angels if i knew the answer id tell u. the transmission has nothing to do with the fan. -- ------------------------------------------ laszlo almasi ----cool toys formerly carolina watercraft works ----mack daddy trailers ----ice angels its an automatic transmission. does that have a manual clutch fan or electric -- ------------------------------------------ laszlo almasi ----cool toys formerly carolina watercraft works ----mack daddy trailers ----ice angels im looking for a few upgrades for my 04 dakota 3.7 liter v6 magnum engine. im looking for a cold air intake and anything to help boost my gas mileage. i know that im probably not going to get much but anything has got to help. any suggestions thanks glytter77 04 dakota v6 01 mustang gt convertible 01 firebird formula 71 firebird .
