Found this on another forum...definately stealing and sharing!

The V6 trucks come with a real E Fan, not the smaller A/C fan, and it mounts directly to the radiator using the same mounts we Hemi guys have. It also plugs directly into the A/C fan plug. It also eliminates the mechanical fan, so you don't have that crank drag anymore! It's on MGH's twin turbo ram and works great. I am going to order one soon and post up pics of it!

I noticed with the Vararam blocking the top part of the radiator, the 180 T-stat and now a good E-fan is essential! Can't wait to have MY pics up!

The fan part number is 55056851AF, retail 222.00, I saw it online for 152.

Stock A/C fan on top, V6 fan on bottom

Installed on a V-6 truck, to show true fan size

Nice. Will be something I look into down the road.

Cool! Is this something that's really necessary? I'd like to know cfm ratings for each to see if it's worth spending the money. I haven't seen anyone complain about cooling issues with the mechanical fan removal, but cool mod either way. Get's rid of the massive shroud too lol (room for turbo )

Good find! Not a mod I was intending.....but never were most of the mods I did. :hah:

 

[TruckeeT2]

Very good find. What site are you getting the fan from?

 

[916Timmy]

Not sure yet, probably Steve White Parts. I ordered some stuff from them, great prices and service

 

[chefred112]

very nice...and if I didn't know any better, that might fit the 3rd gens as well...

 

[916Timmy]

I think it is less than an inch off height and width. Best part is the 150 price tag and full plug and play

 

[snrusnak]

It's sort of deceiving in the pic, do you know how it compares to the stock fan? It looks like it is taller and thinner, but hard to tell...

 

[916Timmy]

Same width, taller shroud, larger fan and thinner design

would be real nice if there is a plug in for it on our trucks. i had the flexalite kit on my cummins. loved it

There is! That's one of the beauties of this. :smileup:

What's the purpose of this mod? What benefit does it net you? Thanks

Yes, I am a "stodgy" old man who still believes a truck that is occasionally used for towing a decently heavy load needs a real, driven fan. I love electric fans for my cars and even like an additional electric fan on a truck that tows or does real off road 4X4 action. Even more, I like electric fans that also have a manual switch in the cab for the driver to engage in harsh conditions when monitoring coolant temp on an aftermarket data guage system. I've always been a coolant guage watcher when pushing my trucks over the years while towing and 4-wheeling, so having a bit of overkill in the cooling department has always been my normal. But like I said...I'm an old, anal scaredy-cat when it comes to my cooling system...LOL!

I just want to know how much air this v6 fan moves compared to the stock v8 AC fan. They appear similarly sized, although the v6 one is slightly bigger.

 

[snrusnak]

Hey Timmy, any more on this fan? JW if you went forward with the swap or plan to. I removed my mech fan and so far (winter) haven't noticed any issues at all with the stock AC fan cooling the engine (with the tuner adjusted settings).

 

[916Timmy]

I'm going to do it soon, but I have 39 days until I get married.....money is tight

 

[snrusnak]

lol gotcha. And congrats!

 

[BadHazard]

would this fit on my 06?

 

[RamTex]

Why the hell do they not put this on our trucks from the factory.... Fail!
