Default Electric fan kit for 06 model ram

There is probably a thread already made for this but im having trouble finding it, and plus i get impatient easily. Does any one sell an electric fan kit that will directly bolt on and comes with wiring?

nothing bolts and wires directly. Everything must be retrofitted and wired accordingly. Some guys like the Viper e-fans and other like the Taurus e-fans. I have the Taurus one and it works well for me. Ive got a thread on it and there are pics in my sig link

I ran a Taurus fan for a year and then switched to a viper fan for the coolness factor. They were both abouthe same level of pita factor install and wire. Use a good relay, not just some $5 Bosch relay. I recommend the stinger sgp38 for a heavy duty relay.

wow aclockwork orange is a fu43ed up movie. Sorry had to get that out. Can't see an e 9fan in my future, I really think the stock fan cools the engine compartment better than the e-fan can, ( for the cai obviously)

The viper fan moves more air at idle than the stock fan.

You usually don't buy an E-fan just for the air flow. You buy one to free up horse power and help your gas mileage.

I've been thinking of getting this one from summit racing. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-16928/
It seems to pull the most air of any I've seen.

Wow, $200+ is a lot. I will stick to my $25 setup. But if you get it be sure to take lots of pics and do a write up on it to help others.

The width on that one is 28" and i think the radiator is only 24". You may want to measure your radiator first.
