I had a dc fan on my 404 but after rebuilding the clutch I removed it and replaced it with the stock unit. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of difference between the two power wise. My temp is the same, however I don't take my truck on too many long distant rides. Try running the mech. fan without the belt and pulley. Mine spins without and seems to keep the temp @ 80-90 degrees.

Regards,
