There are a few out there, some expensive, some not so much.

If you do a search of the 2nd gen section, you'll find many different threads that will show you many different fan options.

does the ones from ebay kick on and off as the ac goes on and off or is it all by hand in the cab

And i found this awesome setup but dont want to spend that kind of cash

This is the same setup but not the site to buy it.

Comes pre wired to just plug in basically but its like 550 bucks

i pretty sure electric fans helps with towing, a lot of people upgrade radiators to diesel radiators if your concerned about cooling if you plow a lot of tow very heavy items

The fans come on as soon as the ac is switched on....otherwise you can set the thermostat to whatever temp you would like them to come on.....I turn it way down to tow my camper so that they are on as soon as I turn the key....and when i'm not towing turn it back up to come on at optimal running temp. I have a manual over ride switch to turn them completely off when driving through a mud hole .

Nice pacman! YOu got the same red cage e fans from FF Dynamics too? How you like them? Fairly easy install right, how long to put in? And temp did you set your controller? I put mine at 165 to kick on.

Question: Do your fans automatically come on when you put your key in the 'ON' position? or do they kick on at the temp you set? I'm asking cuz I think my electrician buddy messed up wiring the units, they just come on when I pop the key to "ON". And FF Dynamics told me they are only suppose to kick on the the temp you set on the controller....
