I have replaced the stock fan on my Ram with a dual-fan setup with a
thermostat. They are the "push" type fans and mount between the radiator
and the AC coils. All you need do is screw off the stock fan. I had a
buddy of mine that worked at a Dodge dealer use his special tool to do it
however. Not sure if you can do it with regular hand tools or not. One you
get the thermostat set properly, I have had no cooling problems(after the
180 thermostat also), and I live in Texas. Already been through a hot
summer using the AC as well. Adds a bit of power for sure. The engine
seems to rev much faster.

Subject: Re: DML: Electric Fan(HELP!)
I am curious for those of you who know of about using an electric fan......
do
you just pull the stock cooling fan off of the engine shaft and mount these
electric fans somewhere against the radiator blowing towards the engine? Do
they really provide enough cooling capabilites???????? Why do the stock fans
rob the engine of so much power?????? I am just concerned about cooling
capabilities on my 93 Dakota 4x4 V6 that has NEVER overheated.
