  5. Best fan setup for a prerunner Go to last post

    What do you guys think the best setup is for a prerunner? Electric, mechanical with clutch, or a flexalite? I'm leaning toward an engine mounted fan rather than electrical and I like the simplicity of a flex fan, but I've also heard that at slow speed/high rpm that flex fans might not be optimum.

    It appears that coolant is leaking from the waterpump housing. It looks like tere's a weep hole and water is draining from there. Even when the car is just sitting in the garage with the engine cool. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
