Message: Mark, what year is your truck? Starting in '00 Dodge put an electric fan along with the mechanical fan. I have been running mine without the mechanical fan for about 6 years with no problems. Go for it.

Message: It won't, just take it off, carry it with u in ur truck just in case
ur car over heats, my truck didn't like it. It's not hard to take
off or put back on. And it's worth a shot. And I'm not saying
take the electric fan off, take the mechanical/clutch fan off.

Message: Find a good aftermarket fan w/ a thermostat control, install it and remove the mechanical fan and you'll be good.

Message: I went to the junk yard several years ago and got the largest
electric fan I could find then bought an installation kit with a
thermostat. Works great and I have had no overheating
problems at all. I live in Florida and pull a boat all the time.
