    Thanks. I have heard of Hayden and they are reliable but never heard of Torqflo so at least some of the gang has some experience with it and, yes, it was a no brainer. Some good feedback....thanks!

    Have fun getting the OEM fan off, it was a PITA. My bolts were a bit rusted, and took some "coaxing" to get off. Needless to say, some bloody knuckles, a bit of cursing 30-45 minutes of my time and I was done. Having said that, I also have a Injen intake, so no factory airbox and piping to get in the way. That made it a bit easier. You made need to add some time to that if you have to take that out, which is another 20 min for removal and install.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I would never go to an electric fan, but by that description, my fan clutch is bad. My cooling is perfect, the VX sat for LONG periods of time while waiting for unnamed others to get strapped up obstacles....no cooling problems. I do not believe my OEM fan clutch worked since I bought in Dec, it was never warm enough to have a problem. But as I said, I rarely go over 180 degrees, even in traffic, wheeling, whatever.
    I like the loud roar, sounds just like a semi and my neighbor's Rodeo
