Nope. No fan. The connector you found is likely for the fog lights. So far as I know, NONE of the second gens had any variety of electric fan up front.

Yes sir I jumped the gun on putting that out there I researched it and found that out but it also gave me an idea of maybe adding one but then again I'm not sure if that would affect the flow of the radiator fan pulling against the condenser fan. I will be putting a transmission cooler from a Dodge Ram 2500 in front or between the condenser and the radiator I haven't decided. The truck won't be doing hardly any highway driving. Mostly farm to market and state highways you know in between counties.

I have the stuff just have to install it, but I was going to install a helper fan in front of the condenser (right behind the grill) to push air through it. So basically it's a push fan not a pull fan

Wow.. it came Friday.. 24" wide 1 1/2" deep.. 3/4" end tubes.. I think I'm gonna opt to put it in Front of A. C. Condenser. PLENTY of room between that and hood grill. HOWEVER, my transmission rebuilder says to USE THE RADIATOR COOLING PART ALSO.. (After a GOOD FLUSHING OUT)...

You only need the radiator warmer (it's not a cooler it warms the tranny fluid so you get OD quicker when it's cold) if you live in a cold climate

Really?... You know what I never thought of that I've always wondered how that little that little tube that is inside the end of the radiator could keep it cool when it gets I don't know some cars have a 190° thermostat in them. And you know my transmission man told me that and he's got a five-star rating on Google been in business here 24 years. But that don't mean he's not a good rebuilder I suppose apparently he is. He's a month behind on jobs. Or maybe he wants me to use the radiator for that purpose and I just misunderstood him on the fact of it being a cooler.. that's probably more like it. WOW.. what a very enlightening revelation. At least the cooler will keep the fluid a little cooler when it reaches extreme temperatures I do live in Texas. Where temperatures from 110 to 116 118 are not breaking any records. TY, I learned something invaluable every time I get on this forum.

90% of people eliminate the radiator "cooler" down south. It's a problem area. The clutches in the tranny will separate if they get water in them as the glue used to hold them together is water soluble. So when it leaks you get coolant into the tranny fluid and vise versa. Which means you run a high risk of the tranny being ruined.

Well you can bet then I'm bypassing the radiator cooler / warmer part of the system and just going to run it up through the aftermarket transmission cooler. I won't be going anywhere in a hurry anyway so they'll be plenty of time for the transmission to warm up before it pulls out on the payment anyhow.

THIS IS ABOUT MY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR...
I checked on the genuine Mopar part and it's like $100 more expensive than a non-mopar part... Would it be a wise decision to be out the extra $100 or I need some input on this one.
