Not to beat a dead horse,
As I said in post #2 it is a "pusher fan" and it is also installed backwards .
if flipped over, it will work as designed as far as pushing air into the back of the radiator and out the front of the truck.
The way it is installed now, the airfoil effect in negated.
I doubt it will push little more than a breeze as installed backwards.
It is understood that it is not ever going to pull air through the radiator and over the engine unless the engine is counter rotation like in some twin engine/ screw marine applications.
The OP has the correct fan in a box of parts as stated in post #5
Now why some person installed that type of reverse air flow fan is only a guess
And I can't agree with you more, a shroud will improve idle/low speed cooling with the proper fan.
