Default 06 2500 Power Wagon Questions

Hello everyone. New to the forum here. I'm posting for a friend who has an 06' 2500 Power Wagon 5.7L. He's interested in an electric fan setup. Because of the truck having heavy duty towing capacity and a winch in the front, is that why there is an auxillary electric fan next to the belt driven? Would replacing the belt driven fan in any way interfere with the electric one? Does the electric fan only come on while towing or under heavy load? Are there any intake, header, and exhaust combos any of you recommend? Sorry for the load of questions, but thanks in advance.

Nice place you have here. [8D]

No they (06's at least) still have the fan driven off the engine. An electric fan replacement frees up hp and only turns on when needed (thermostat reaches a certain temp).
The electric fan you see is placed behind the ac condenser, it isn't really used for engine cooling as much as it is for ac function.

Yea I noticed that the e-fan was placed over the condensor, I just had never seen a setup like that before, so that was my only concern. Thanks for clearing that up.

Any companies make a setup yet?
