on latter model busses with a rear, side mounted radiators does the fan blow out or suck in?

Air usually flows over/thru the radiator from outside into the engine compartment

Also used now on new buses is what is called a 2 speed fan clutch.  When disengaged the magnetic eddies allows the fan to turn over slowly still pulling some air in over both the radiator and air to air intercooler.  Then when it warms up it engages fully for full fan function. Good Luck, TomC
