Re: engine cooling fan
I agree that the noise (and lack of power) when the fan clutch kicks in, is bothersome. In the past I've brought it back to the dealer multiple times, to adjust the "kick-on" time, since I felt that it went on too often and for too long a time.
Some in this forum have converted to electric fans, which doesn't produce that "ROARRR" noise, and gives back some horsepower to boot. I believe the GM-made electric fan was found to be more durable.
One problem is that the electric fan blades may shear-off when the H2 fords water of any depth (or at speed). But being you're in the dessert, this issue may not be a problem. Others have experienced some heating issues. I'm sure the relevant owners will chime in.
