Have to differ on this. I live in Austin, and my 245NA runs and cools VERY well with a Hayden electric puller in place of the mechanical unit. 109F outside earlier this summer, and sitting in traffic, temp gauge BARELY crept above 9:00, A/C blowing 50F at the vents.

Fan is the biggest Hayden that Pep Boys had (model #3701?), installed w/ fixed-temp relay; rad is 3-row all-metal from ipd many moons back.

Better gas mileage, quieter, but the main reason I like it is the ease of access to the front of the engine.

(If you do stay with mechanical, consider "tropical" clutch - engages sooner at a noise cost, but a local indie Volvo mech swaps his clutch back-and-forth with standard every spring/fall.)
