Fan Question....

Has anyone went ahead and gotten a Horton Clutch fan so that the coolant temps don't go down too far when towing? ...When I tow up a hill, my Viscous fan comes on like normal , then I top the hill or rise, but instead of cutting off like at 190, it keeps pulling the air til the engine coolant is like 160 or so, then the engine temp rises to normal op. ....

Would the horton be better for that as it reads coolant temps rather than temps coming into the radiator?

If the above is so, where would be the best place to get one?

Thanks
