RE: v8 Dakota Shroud
Varsis, I wishI took a picture of my fan and clutch. Do you have the large fan clutch on yours or the smaller one? And how many blades does your fan have? Mine's a 9-blade fan with the HD clutch. It's the largest fan clutch I've seen, and I've never seen a 9-blade fan before on a light duty vehicle like this. That may be the ticket for good cooling for you. Are you still using the V-6 fan clutch and fan, or did those items come with the 5.9L?
Dakota R/T owners -- how many blades does your fan have? Did they call come with a HD cooling package, or could that still be ordered separately?

What do you mean when you say, "it doesn't cool all that great." Does the temperature gauge creep up when you're stopped or idling? Where does the gauge normally run? Did you use a new water pump and thermostat on the 5.9L when you put it in? What is the condition of your radiator?
