" On the fan and waterpumps. I would suggest in the carrier situation, the h.p. required to drive the fan is probably higher than in any other Ford application........they also operate often at a low ground speed. As a result there would be virtually no air flow that is not fan driven."

I'll take the heat for this if it is wrong but I also have it in my head that the size of the fan also helps drop the engine RPM quickly when shifting...always seemed easier in the carrier than any CMP that I ever drove..
