    Thermal will egage when engine temperature requires it. Non will only disengage at highway speeds. IMO thermal is the way to go. You dont have to listen to your fan at lower speeds.

    Electric fans allow all sorts of options - including thermal engagement as well as an on/off switch for water crossings =D>

    Then you need a quieter exhaust

    This is the way I need to go on my J20 plowtruck, had to rig a locked clutch to keep it cool on the road with the plow on, I'm tired of swapping it out fall and spring, I need t do the high mount alt with an upgraded alt to have juce to run a fan and keep the belts farther up out of the snow.
