Not much info to go on., but, what comes to mind is usual heat problems.
i.e. plugged rad., bad 'stat, eng. block needs flushing.

What is the CFM rating of the fan? What is the climate you are operating in like? What size radiator? Were you having cooling problems prior to installing the fan?

Ditto, on the questions from Bully and Seabronc.
It sounds like the one fan is pulling air only through the 16" diameter area of the rad. If you do not have an intergrated shroud, then there is little air being circulated through the areas outside of the fan's diameter, until you start driving and forward motion forces air through those parts of the rad.
You may need a 2 fan set up with an intergrated shroud, or mount the fan in the existing shroud to make a "funnel effect" and pull air through the entire rad...............Or go back to the engine mounted fan.
Good Luck, and let us know what the outcome is.

just went through this,,,there is no 20 inch fan to fit the shroud opening in the bronco..you can get a custome radiator for 3-5 hundred dollars..the best bet is just to stay with the clutch type fan..or a large flex fan and factory shroud.....or put 2 12-13 inch fans on the radiator core..or have a custom shroud made for your radiator..
