ok, listen up. 1) don't be a punk and tell anyone to listen up. 2) be a little more careful about your spelling. 3) you must learn to punctuate your sentences. It is difficult to read when I don't know where each thought ends.
What kind of electric fan did you put in place of the belt driven fan?
Oh yeah, there's no need to dredge up such an old post.

so if it's working fine then your engine wouldn't over heat. Maybe you should reread the post. I'm pretty sure everyone runs an aftermarket electric fan to replace the clutch driven one.

Billy,
If you live in a hot climate, you will have to install a larger electric fan if you remove the belt driven fan. The stock electric fan is only meant as a supplement to the belt fan, and doesn't flow enough air to keep everything cool by itself.
Also, I'm wondering about your comment about the 180 degree thermostat. If you replaced the thermostat that is mounted where the lower radiator hose goes into the motor, then this has nothing to do with the operation of the electric fan. This thermostat controls when the coolant in the motor starts cycling through the radiator to get cooled. The stock electric fan is controlled by the PCM, and only turns on if you are running the air conditioning or the coolant temperature reaches 220 degrees.

I would recommend double checking your t-stat to see if you installed it backwards, if you did fix it. If not, put your clutch fan back on or install an aftermarket electric fan.
