Default how many CFMs and amps do 05-06 elec fans pull?

im looking to do a 34" radiator upgrade to my truck along with 05-06 elec fans. i seen a picture of the fans and it looks like one fan has more blades then the other. does anyone know why this is? anyone running a highly modded truck with a 34" rad and 05-05 elec fans?

i want some fans that pull A LOT of cfms because i take my truck to the sand dunes and it always seems to run hot. i have a 28" radiator and my elec fans on high the whole time. so im thinking about building my own shroud and buying some elec fans. not sure on what CFMs and amp range i should be in?

I don't know how may CFM they pull but they are fused @ 30 amps. I've had 05 fans on for 2-3 years. No issues but then again I'm not in sand dunes. Several 90+ days stuck in traffic and might see 200.

do you notice them when they kick on?

when im in the dunes i plan on running them both on high (if they have that setting).

i think what does it in the dunes is. a huge load on the truck 4500-6200 rpms and the truck is moving at 25-35mph.

I don't notice them when they kick on and run at the low setting. This is probably 95% of the time. When they kick both on high there is a momentary pull down of the engine then it levels out fine.
