electric fan
has anyone installed an electric fan on their Ram?
Which one did you use, where did you get it and how do you like it?
does it keep the engine cool like the regular fan does or does it run hotter?
also 1 last question, how hard was it to install?
Thanks.

RE: electric fan
heres my setup...fans out of a ford windstar minivan, its a dual fan setup. ive also attached an image of the e-thermostat that controls them, i have them set to come onapprox around 185. to answer your question, yes, they keep the truck cool as the belt driven fan would if not better, they do such a great job infact, that at a redlight, you can actually here them click off when the thermo cools back down. pretty shweet setup and only cost me about50 bucks. spent i think 15 on the fans, 20 on the thermo and about 10 on the wiring...also on a scale of 1 to 10 on ease of installation, id say it was about a 2 for a person with at least some mechanical knowledge
