no i didnt mean literally on fire...haha it was just hot as fuck but i flushed out the radiator today and i still had the problem then i realized that the fucking fan wasnt going and the smoke was coming from what looked like the fans motor.. big problem or minor?

What do you consider big or small problem? If it is the fan it shouldnt be that big of a problem

1998_svt_cobra · May 14th, 2007, 11:00 PM

oh lol- if it is the fan it's not too big of a problem, but a fan is more than you think...i think mine was like 200.

ya i was looking at them on mustangs unlimited and was shocked at the prices... but i think im gonna go ahead and get a really good one... it said can increase up to 17 hp so maybe like 5-10 hp right?
