    It's been my experience that the factory fan is hard to beat. Unless you have a particular reason to eliminate it, I'd just keep it. My elec fan seems marginally effective at best. It's pulling, not pushing.

    Mine works great. I've only put about 8K miles on it since I installed it, so maybe I'll decide differently.

    I kept the stock fan but also installed a Flexalite as an auxiliary pusher.
