What specs are you wanting? What fan are you using because the majority of us use the Taurus fans and mount then either in the shroud or to the rad itself using those holes in the very top and bottom of the rad

I just need the stock specs of a 06 Ram 1500 stock fan and radiator, I am upgrading to an E-Fan, with an aluminum radiator.

Right I understand specs but my question is what kind of specs. Torque specs? Or coolant to water ratio specs? Pounds of pressure in system specs? CFM? You just gotta be more specific.

If you are just adding an electric fan then you dont need specs. Just go out and get a Taurus fan like we all have for an average of $25 and a $40 Hayden controller and mount it to the rad and go with it.

There is nothing wrong with the cooling capability of the stock rad though. The only reason we use e-fans is for a fuel conservation technique and minute HP gains.

Housing Specs for the radiator, i was just trying to get a quote so I found this site figured some dodge freaks like me could help. I have a Ram 1500 with over 800 Horses, its a trophy truck. I am upgrading my cooling system right now, thats why I need the stock specs for the radiator housing. I dont have a manual on me, and my truck is three states away. No one could give me solid specs. .

Oh trust me I am not lieing, check out www.brangersracing.com They are world renowned, they are the ones helping me rebuild this engine. We have exclusive rights to this HEMI design. You can find everything about my project there, and I have posted pictures but this site is limited on how many you can have. Check out http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/a...6705&aid=19975 there are plenty of the project pictures on here. You can also find me in any of the quick eight east race rosters considering I have the fastest Ram on the east coast. Back to the main topic, I just need housing specs to finish my cooling list to send off. Anyways thanks for the help gents. Any questions feel free to ask. The pictures on here are month three of the rebuild.
