RAM2500 5.7L EFAN for Towing

[j_brand]

New to this form and I hope I am posting this question in the right place.

I have a 2016 RAM2500 with a 5.7L V8 that the water pump has gone. Fan pulley is wobbling and coolant is leaking. I am wondering if I can do the V6 eFAN conversion and still be able to tow a 7500lbs 5th wheel in average temperatures 20-30'c (68-86'F). Does anyone have any experience with having done this?

Is there a cooling benefit to keeping the system stock? I only drive about 10k (6000 miles) a year so fuel economy is less of an issue.

I have found the Dorman 621-410 Radiator Fan Assembly kit on amazon.ca for about $225cdn.Would this be the correct kit?

To make the software changes I was planning on buying the AlphaODB software, is this suitable to modify the fan temperature setting?

Slightly off topic; are there any after market water pumps that people can recommend? In addition to Mopar I can find Gates, Worldparts, GMB, US Motor Works and Dayco. All about 40% less than Mopar.

Gates is probly one of the cheaper ones. Had mine in for a few years with no complains.
Your temps will probly creep with the e fans. I've noticed it even towing 3000lbs in the mountains. Worst you can do is try it, if it doesn't work throw the old one back on.
That said in also a 1500 but have the 6.4l

How did you get a 2016 2500 with a 5.7??? I don't think AlphaOBD can change the electric fan settings,but i might be wrong.If you're towing,i'd leave the mechanical fan in place
