Is there any negative effects if I do the install but leave clutch fan on? Till I can get it removed?

I don't think you will have clearance.

How do you get the fan blade off?

 

[Lhemi]

So has anyone taken they're own blade off?

Ok to get the fan blade off you need.
1) I 1/4 thick piece of flat bar with 2 holes drilled in it. About 2" apart
2) put 2 5/15 bolts threw those holes and blot them in place.

The pully behind the clutch can will have holes in it, about the same distance as your flat bar with the bolts in it.
Put your the flat bar with the bolts into those holes to hold the pully in place.
Get a very big cresent wrench and place it on the big nut behind the clutch fan blades.
This is left handed threads, and is very hard to remove.
I strongly recommend 2 people. One to hold the bar that's holding the pully, and 1 to try and unscrew the fan.
Hope this helps you out.

^ never would have thought a fan would be so complicated.

There was no info on how to get that blade off, it's a PITA x10! I'm 6'5" and about 250 and trying to get that thing off by my self sucked.

Spray some WD-40 or PB-Blaster on the nut the night before and get a steel pipe that fits over the crescent wrench handle to add leverage. I had no problems with the two I've done.

TylerB is the one that helped me out!
Thanks again TylerB

 

[TylerB]

No problem.

I just cut mine off with a saw zal was much easier

And FYI if you use the tyc fan then becareful were your hose rests against the efan the vibration will wear a hole in your hose your best best is to cut of the little fin it sits against

Maybe Im confusing something, but why do the V6's come with an Efan and the V8s dont?

"Heavy duty cooling" for towing and such.

Question. I bought my truck used. It has an aftermarket warranty. Would this void it ?

The only way I could see it possibly voiding the warranty is if the fan breaks and you overheat your engine to the point of causing serious damage. I'd taken my truck into the dealer a few times for work and they never said anything so, shouldn't have to worry about it.

Is someone have the part number of the electric fan assembly ?

Any updates on performance and/or mpg increases?

Curious about this also as I am considering doing this.

I plan on doing this in my 2007. Is it plug and play?
