From what I dug up when doing converter research, a Yank 2600 will actually pull trailers better than stock with the relatively low stall speed and higher STR.
I think my fathers F350 (diesel), actually has about a 2200-2600 stall in it from the factory.
FWIW, I pull 5K with my e-fans with no problems. I actually carry my stock clutch fan with me on those trips. If I ever see coolant temps getting high, I'll pull over and spin on the stock fan right behind the e-fans. I don't know how well it'll actually do without the shrowd, but it sure can't hurt.
I've never had to do that though. My coolant temps never go above an indicated 190-200 - whatever the gauge normally sits at.

What about putting a small electric fan in front of a bad *** tranny cooler. Tru-cool has a 40,000GVW tranny cooler that I want to use if it will work. I believe it was originally designed for diesels, but I want to see if it will works on a gas. It might be able to cool things down enough to run a slightly bigger stall.
