[6pack] Electric cooling fan: pusher or puller?

[Mitch]

With all the talk of electric cooling fans I must admit my fear of 
roadside break downs. I have used an electric fan as an auxiliary for 
many years but have always been afraid to rely on it as the only means 
of cooling. I hate to get stuck & have never in the ten years I've had 
this six. I have had one electric fan fail in this time period though. 
Of course every late model car I own has only elec units to provide 
cooling. I guess my question is since it seems so many have converted 
solely to elec fans, what is your long term reliability history. Since 
my fan is mounted as a pusher, the elimination of the mechanical fan 
would give me more room when changing a V-belt & clean up the engine 
bay. All experiences welcome.

Thanks
