i have never heard of people removing the stock e-fan, the stock clutch fan? sure iv heard of it, iv even considered replacing mine w/ an electric fan, but all of my money is going to school right now, yes it can be setup to go on automatically or you could do it yourself however for the price you wont find an e-fan that cools like the clutch fan does

See me with a 5.9 and Flownaster exhaust I just stomp on it when I wanna hear it roar. Oh and it does such a great job of roaring. I wouldn't try and stray you either for or against replacing the clutch fan with electric. IMO they are both equal I just prefer to keep a clutch fan because I depend on it easier than electric.
Its a fetch up whether you should or shouldn't just depends on who you ask. LOL

Well yeah my 4.7L roars when i stomp on it but I miss hearing the roar all the time like I did with my 2001 5.0L. I just think that Dodge could have done a few things differently when they made these cars, like 4 wheel disk and ABS and electric fans. ABS isnt a problem in the summer but its nice to have in the winter.

if you are hearing the fan all of the time you have a bad clutch, end of story, you should not hear a clutch fan all the time. on a cold start you will hear it for a bit, then it should disengage and youshouldnt hear it anymore unless you overheat, or until you let it sit overnight

Its all about what package your vehicle came with. I ordered mine with 4 wheel ABS and personally I like the drums in the back. Personal preference but I like it. And I'm a fan of the clutch fan because these trucks were made to be best in class towing and an electric fan just won't suffice.
I would trust a clutch fan any day of the week over an electric fan, but like I said it's just personal preference.

I know it, All im saying is that Ford had 4 wheel disk/ABS standard on a lot of their earlier cars. As far as that goes its fine with me as I can manage the lockup any way. It just doesnt seem as though the rear ABS works properly, at least I can barely feel it pump back. The Clutch fan I understand is on these vehicles because of their Best in Class towing of the time and like you said an electric fan just wouldnt have cut the butter. I just dont like all the noise but then Theres almost a 0% chance of overheating as long as your fluids are all good.
