Villager/Quest or 3.8L Taurus fans work very well. I have the Nissan fan and sitting in traffic in 100* weather low keeps it plenty cool. Towing a trailer up hills in 90*+ isn't an issue either.

On my 88 I'm running the earlier Maxima fans with the metal frame, also the the temp sensors that fit in the bottom of the max rad.

I placed the temp sensor in the metal tube in the upper rad hose it turns on the low speed fan at 190 degrees the high

speed fan I have hooked to a switch on the dash.

The 94 I did the same way and have had no problems with either one.

The fan shroud fits the pathy rad almost perfect, I think I have some pics of the installation on here somewhere.

I originally had 2x12" fans in an aluminum shroud that only covered 2/3rds of the rad & I always had over heating problems on long, slow hills. I have since fitted a Taurus 2 speed fan, a Dakota Digital controller & an OEM shroud, nary a heat problem now!!
