It is a JOKE! do you think I was serious?

first of all, a search probably did you NO GOOD, as who would want to know this? And most people would go out and look at the way the fins are oriented and FIGURE IT OUT! Dont get pissy that no one is answering your dumb fan question, read your first answer ! IT, like YOU are a sucker! Now lighten up. It was a joke,did you see the SMILEY FACE? I will put down a saftey disclaimer next time at the bottom! sheesh

Agree! You are driving an automobile into a wall of air, the fan would work the best if it pulls IN the air at the front of the radiator, and "pulls" the air out of the back of the radiator. That way you pull the air over the cooling fins, in the SAME direction of the incomming air. If you reverse the logic: moving forward thru this "wall", and having the fans work at pushing the air forward thru this wall you yourself are going thru, is not very effective. You have to work with the laws of nature and physics. So the first post is correct, it sucks the air in the front of the radiator, and blows it out the back of the radiator. enough said?

Since it is close to New Year's....I would have suggested to throw confetti at it. But blood is much easier to clean up

But seriously......Why would someone need to know this?

in order to purchase a slim-line fan, you have to know the size and orientation (push or pull type)...

most people have to replace the one on the engine side for a larger turbo setup...but you are right, it is EASY to figure out...
