The pusher fan is made to work both ways so I will see what way I like better.

No worries. The only way to get answers is to ask questions.

I would like to publicly thank Matt for his advice. I reinstalled my factory shroud over my electric fan tonight. Was a bit of a pain getting it to fit over the universal brackets at a few points, but now not only do I not have zip ties holding my coolant bottle and washer fluid bottle (so it looks a lot better), but I took it for a decent test drive and it actually DOES seem cool better.

It looks 99% like the factory setup now, just no clutch fan.

How was the installation? Did the kit come with a switch for in the cab to shut them off completely for water crossings? All wires /relays included? Instructions?
