What would you do?

Hi everybody,

I am in a tight spot. I have the new engine in my truck, everything is running fine BUT when it gets warm out I start creeping above 180 degrees. I am running a normal clutch fan. I know Summit has electric fan kits that automatically turn on at certain points but that is too much money right ow. They do have one 18 inch pusher electric fan for 70 bucks. I have a 4 row radiator so I know this would be enough but here is the rub. would you:

1. Wire it to a switch and just turn on when needed?

2. Wire it to turn on with engine? I was considering this because the thermostat will still allow it to get to 180 even with the fan running right?

What do you think? Thanks.

Just remembered another question - is a puller fan mounted on the front of the rad? Thanks again.
