oh man that sucks so bad. sorry to hear that. My 88 mustang gt did that to me once. I was doing a burnout, the waterpump shaft broke and sent the fan threw the radiator. Next day I bought a new aftermarket radiator and a used ford tarus electric fan from the junk yard.. Felt like i gained 20hp and sounded so much better then that noisy clutch fan. BTW I checked the gmc tailgate i have and the aluminum strip is not even there.

Going to electric fans will give you more 'seat of the pants' power?

it was the best thing I ever done for that little car... think that car only has a 225hp 5.0 with 273 gears.. I MAYBE got 10hp outa the fan swap but it was enough to tell.
