Tim, and anyone else out there,

I have a 2000 Durango 4x4. I just ordered the ASP crank pulley and
will be installing it in the next week or so. At the same time, I
would like to get rid of the factory clutch fan.

Here's the problem...On my Durango ( I don't know about the Dakotas,
forgive me) there is already an electric fan on the engine side of the
radiator. Do I replace the clutch fan AND this fan with an
aftermarket piece? Does anyone have a suggestion on what to do with
the factory fan shroud, as the coolant and WW fluid resivors are built
into it?

Thanks,
