Derale Cooling Products 16833 Derale High-Output Dual RAD Fan and Shroud Kits | Summit Racing

This is my first time posting, but I've been following this forum for a while now and go to it almost daily for help. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck using the derale 16833 cooling fan assembly? My hydraulic system has failed, and I just wanna go electric. In theory this should fit great, but I wanted to get some insight from others before purchasing. And I'm sorry if this has been posted before, I just haven't found anything on it.

And for those that don't wanna click the link to the website, it draws 37.4 amps, and has a cfm rating of 1/2 1,875/1,875 or a combined rating of 3,750cfm

You might wanna get the size specs of the fan, to make sure it will fit.

37 amps seems like a rather large load.

Size specs are in the picture, on paper it should fit good. 24in wide, 17in tall and 4½in at its thickest point.

The radiator core measures about 24in x 18in

For anyone wondering, this fan kit fits perfect! Somehow my alternator is able to keep up with these, but just barely. I'll be looking into some lower amp fans soon, but the shroud fits like it was made for it.
