Dorman fans are great and won't fail in a month. I bought mine from amazon for $140. Easy to install and quick to wire it up.

Ok, when you say "get the job done", does that translate into "This is the best fan for the job and is the only one you will need" ?
I know, I know....I'm probably over thinking this....but if I'm going to get approval from the better half for the money, I've got to make absolutely sure that I'm not going to have to spend money again on the same thing. I tend to get in trouble when that happens.

I don't think I have seen anyone report a failure in the stock fans.

Y'all are awesome.
One more question (and statement) The Dorman site sucks. Looks like I've got a number of supply houses here and I can get the part through a mechanic friend (discount!).....IF I CAN FIND THE RIGHT FREAKING PART NUMBER!! LOL.
If I can figure out which fans I need, get them purchased....there's an independent shop here that has a TechII. Can they enable the fans, or do I have to wait for a tune?

Awesome! Y'all kick ass.
What about the TechII question? Can a shop with a TechII enable the fans or do I need to wait for a tune?

I dont know about TechII but EFILive can enable them. You will need to install a wire harness and either tap the A/C wire and one PCM pin (99-02) or two PCM pins (03-06) depending on the year of your ride.

OK. A mechanic friend pointed me in the direction of a shop here that does tuning. Not particularly thrilled with them, but seeing as how all I need is for them to enable the e-fans..... 
OK, and now back to beating what I thought was a dead horse....
The better half wants to know why the Flex-a-lite fans are so much more expensive than the Dorman....apparently more $$$ is supposed to mean a better item.
If that's the case, I'm supposed to get the better fans
And....in case nobody guessed...this is my first major mod to either one of my trucks, so.....yeah.

I can't recall if a Tech II can program E-Fans, I'll check tomorrow at work though
It's rare to see the factory E-Fans fail. I'd go that route. Why pay more for the same product?

I swear, my truck knew I was talking about it. The clutch fan is dying and my water pump has a leak in it.
So now, if I can get all the parts together before its appointment on Friday...I'm going e-fan!
Just gotta find someone to do the mod to the PCM programming now...and hope the fans come in on time....and hope that blackbear gets back to me so I can get the harness coming...and hope that nothing else breaks between now and then.
