I suppose if I had to guess, an electric fan would probably be a lot more likely to fail than a mechanical clutch fan would and yes, I know, even though the newer trucks don’t even have a mechanical fan anymore but, mine does so yeah, they could possibly hold that against me but then again, I guess it all boils down to how much leverage the Magnuson moss act would have even on a warranty like that that wasn’t necessarily a manufacturer warranty and if the rule would still apply that they would still have to prove that by me removing the mechanical clutch fan and replacing it with an aftermarket electric fan or even a same brand fan from the same truck but with a different engine.
But I understand completely what you’re saying when you said if perhaps the truck had to get hauled in behind a tow truck to the shop for an overheating problem but mysteriously there’s nothing wrong with the mechanical clutch fan and there’s some other electric fan whether it’s aftermarket or some other Mopar fan found in the place of the original condenser fan but, I dunno. I’ve heard of people spinning on brand new Mopar oil filter on the engine after it blew up just so that when it went to the shop, they couldn’t place the blame on an aftermarket oil filter.
But then again, a good lawyer has gotten people their claims when the manufacturer said they weren’t going to honor it but all in all, I may not even do anything because even though some people have said they’ve been OK with just relying on the stock condenser fan without the mechanical clutch fan, I would still feel better with the electric fan that comes in the V6 trucks only because it’s larger and it has a fan shroud to pull more air through the complete radiator instead of just the center of it but then again if something was to happen, that fan would give them something to be a lot more suspicious about because it’s not the original fan so like I said, I’ll probably just end up leaving it alone because what I wanna do requires too much extra stuff.
