THe seller sells JUST THE SHROUD: $160
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...Q5fAccessories

you can put in any two fans you want that are 16 inches in diameter.


However, the fans and controller are pretty pricey when you buy them separately. HOWEVER, you can jsut get any TWO 16inch fans and wire them to run at 100% with a switch.

The reserve bottle and the wiper bottle will have to be zip tied or otherwise attached near their original spots, if you can't fit the original fan shroud around those fans.
I would not buy that kit. they mount through the radiator and will puncture a tube.

Yeah that is true but if you go that route, it would be way more expensive (that shroud kit, fans, and control module/ wiring) plus purchasing all that separetly would be very inconvient whereas this kit has been tested by the seller and proven to work and supposedly comes with everything in box you need to get it running. Kit only costs 295 with shipping...if the MPG gain you get outta these is true, it will pay for itself over a long enough period of time. And they look really cool

I think I may get this kit as well and just fabricate a couple of simple brackets to mount them instead of going through the fins. I just asked the seller a question about a manual over ride switch to shut them off while crossing water and blast them when mudding and crawling . I will post his response and will probably order them tomorrow. 6000cfm should keep the old girl chilly .
