So my fan clutch is shot (as I found out one of our 100 degree days awhile back...) and I want to do away with it and run electric only. I had thought about getting a Viper fan conversion from socaldakota.com, but since the site took a dump, I don't really know what to go with. Anybody done this on here? 360 or not?

 

im surprised the R/Ts didnt come with electric fans....
most performace shops sell e-fan kits

 

don't the dakotas come with both? electric and clutch? what if you took your clutch fan off and just had your electric? or would that not work?

 

I don't think so, but if it did, it wouldn't move enough air.

 

R/T's and most other V8 Daks and Durangos have both. The problem with just using one is this.....the stock electric fan only comes on when either the A/C is on or the coolant temp reaches 230. Which is way too hot for anything with a S/C. I was thinking I could install a pusher fan in front of the A/C condenser and leave the stock electric fan, or get a 2 speed fan to mount on the engine side but I don't know which is better or easier to do.

 

What ever you do, tell me, I plan on doing the same mod.

 

mine came with one....

 

well... aren't you o so friggin special..







haha, jk

 

Rewire the electric fan to run on a switch or make it run all the time. No harm in that.

 

Get a Mark-8 fan. It moves 5800 CFM.
You use it as a puller. As a pusher you
will lose 30% right from the get-go.
It's a two-speed fan. A/C on & off.
I think you can still get them for under
a buck-fifty. (Or, hit the bone-yards and
find one for ten-twenty bucks).
If your truck has a pusher already, just
get rid of the clutch-fan & Wire it in for
low speed only,.. It moves 3250 CFM on
low. Do it,.. It will free up some HP for
ya and, better MPH too.
