Cool man... good luck!!

That was the one nice thing about the fan I bought... it fit perfect underneath my stock shroud. I lucked out with that one cause I did not measure anything before ordering...

you still are using your stock shroud? why not just yank it off. one of the benefits of going to electrics in the rams is gaining all that extra room under there with the stock fan and shroud gone.


and as for wiring...as always, i'm going the cheap route.
one fan is going to be fully manual, operated via a switch (and relay connected right to the battery). doubt i'll ever need the second fan, but who knows.
the second fan is also going to be on a switch, but the power for the switch is going to be coming from the ignition wire. i will leave that switch on. that way, that fan will always run whenever the key is on. point of that is in case someone else drives my truck and might forget to turn the fan on (hell i forgot to shut my hood all the way, even i might forget to turn the fan on!)
but its also connected to a switch so in the winter i can flip it off to let the engine warm up faster if i so desire.


gonna go pop these babies in now, i'll get some completed pics.

Yes... it is very nice without the shroud!!!

I just wanted to keep the washer tank and coolant catch tank mounting. I could have cut up the shroud and kept the mounts intact... I just did not want to ruin the stock setup incase i want to go back to the clutch fan.

when i did mine i went with 2 universal coolant bottles from advanced auto.. one i drilled out for the washer fluid pump. (dont need the low level indicator sensor installed to make it work) and the other for the coolant resevior. works great!! and i didnt have to cut the shroud for the mounts.. just mounted them wherever they would fit.. the washer bottle is mounted in a small area between the bumper and the core support (sport bumper so theres a load of room) and the coolant bottle is mounted to the CAI sheild.. pics in gallery
