Just called the dealer to see if my stat came in...Jaw hit the floor when he said $60 plus tax....I was thinking roughly 1/2 that..Now add the cost of my pipe wrench,hose to drain some af and a pan to drain it in..Im almost into $100.....Performance per $ has fallen into the negitive thus far...Hope she makes it up in mpg over the next 6 months and eventually will help once i get a custom tune..[/QUOTE]
It's not gonna make it up in milege,at least not a 100 bucks,lol.It might gain a bit of milege,but it's very negliable,by no means will it save you a 100 dollars in fuel in the next 6 months,it might save you that amount over a 10 year span,but that might even be stretching it,lol.The truck will be a bit quieter with-out the fan roaring away,and will warm up noticeably faster in the winter when it's -20C.If you're doing this strictly for milege,don't get your hopes up to high,as you might be disappointed.You should see a slight gain,but it's probably not going to be as much as you'd hoped for.If you take the factory shroud off and stay with the OEM fan,you'll want to fab up a bracket to hold the rad hose,i built a fancy little bar that bolts right to the oem e-fans mounts,but an easier way to do it,is grab yourself a chunk of 1" X 1/8" flat bar from Crappy Tire/Home Depot etc,and bend it up so it'll bolt to the front of the engine somewhere,and salvage the original hose mount off the shroud.The only way to get that mount is to buy the whole upper rad hose assembly,as that's the only way I've seen the mount sold.
