Why, the clutch fan is more reliable and pulls more air, the slight bit of extra HP you get from switching to electric isn't worth it in my opinion. I am not sure about the Rams but in the Jeeps many people have had issues with it running hot after switching to electric fans.

This is like the one i have it will fit the width of out rams radiator perfect but it leaves a few inches at the top/bottom and it flows 5500 CFM of air.

I have dual e-fans, and even with one disconnected it wont run hot.... and my a/c is cooler.
So any complaints about overheating because of an e-fan installation cries poor equipment selection/setup.

What kind of a set-up did you use? If it's in a thread on here, sorry for being lazy... :-) Thanks! Tim

I would have to agree if it's horsepower you are after. But if you still want an electric fan check out flexalite
