Anyone added an electric radiator fan?
My rig is a 95 vintage and as we will be heading out shortly to tour the rockies, I decided that having an extra fan for engine cooling might be a good idea. This is the fan that I ordered - I hope...

Thanks for the input. When I did my research, I did see that good forward motion is more than sufficient to keep the engine cool and in fact, driving across the desert at 55mph she was right in the sweet spot.
The issue is that when we get to the rockies (think Vail Pass on the I70) we will be down to 10mph, foot planted in the floorboards, 1st gear and screaming - it's just the way it is for about 10 miles :(
So my thinking is that an e-fan will help the systems, not that they are not functional, just that a bit of extra help wouldn't hurt it - right?
There isn't much that I can do in cleaning up the airflow through the hood - we have the slant nosed model (see below) so additional scoops aren't really an option and at low speed wouldn't be very effective either
