You're going to want a fan that will flow at least 2500CFM with a good shroud that covers the whole radiator. And they are just standard threads on the stock fan.

i'll need that many cfm's i figured 1500 would be enough so i thougt i'd go with the 2100 because thats alot of air being pulled through compared to stock isnt it

i have an 89' 5.2,,,, the best bet would be to find a 89' shelby dakota in a salvage yard and take the dual fans off of it,, maybe a little work but it will be worth it

Measure the hole in the stock shroud. Get the biggest fan that will fit in that hole. That should supply more than enough air flow without being too noisy. Curved blades are genrally quieter than straight. And larger fans that move the same air as smaller ones will also be quieter.
Fabricate some simple mounts to hold the fan so the blades are about halfway into the opening. If the blades are connected at the tip by a big circle, they won't flex much. If they are not connected, make sure there is at least 1/4" between the blade tips and any other surface. Otherwise they will flex, hit the mount, and break off.
DO NOT mount the primary cooling fan directly to the radiator with those wire tie mounts that go through the radiator core. You won't move near enough air over near enough surface area to keep it cool.

Hey I have a 1999 Dodge Dakota R/T. In 1998 Chrysler made a Grand Cherokee with a 5.9 and it had an electric fan. the fan is about 18 inches and it cost about $180.00 bucks. It has two speeds and works like a champ in my truck. I wired in two relays so that the low speed turns on with the a/c clutch and a temp switch that truns on the high speed when the temp gets to high. You gotta removed the factory shroud and you need to removed some of the new fans shroud to fit in between the radiator and engine but it works great and even looks pretty factory. It even has a little danger label so you know to keep your diggets out of there. I cant remember the mopar part number but you just gotta ask your mopar parts person for the electric cooling fan module for a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited. (thats a bit of a long name)

Thank You

Thanks for that Skat (hope that refers to your quickness and not a hobby). I have been trying to find a near stock fan conversion and now I have it.
Thanks for sharing!
