Sorry, I sure dont know how to do that. But dont think you need to do that. Mine ran fine and never overheated before until about 1yr ago all this started, and been trying to get it solved.

OK!!

Im going to go for the Viper V10 electric fan. Summit Racing has it for $170.

So do I need to make mods to install it and purchase sensors or that sort to run properly?
You could do like i did, find a hot wire under your hood, i used my tach, it only comes on when the engine is running, find a book for it an get the wiring diagram for under your hood an go from there, or u could simply run the positive wire for the fan to the battery, an run the neg wire to a toggle switch under your dash that way u can turn it on an know it's running..

Either should work fine, because i dont know if the fan comes with the sensor's an all

My 2001 has both a electric AND clutch fan. Elec went out last week. I thought that the clutch fan would suffice temporarily - ha! It takes both to keep the beast cool.

An OEM fan was $400! I picked up an aftermarket for $75 and installed it in a couple of hours. That included the trip to home depot for materials to fabricate a bracket. It came with "clips" that would mount through the radiator, but I was a little skittish about having something rubbing around on those tubes. I used a steel angle and drilled it out to match the original mounting holes. Went together nicely.

Remove the mud flap and bottom fan shroud underneath the radiator and look for unused wiring harness connections (mine has two in addition to the elect fan connection). I'm betting that the wiring harness is similar on all models and you may find an unused 12v source for your fan. Check it with the engine running, though.
