First measure what size radiator you have. Should be the 34" one since you have a HD truck. Second, snag some from a 05-06 silverado 1500. They bolt right up to it. Third, get a harness from bbp and a tune and put it all together and you're good to go.

Just get the traditional tune, it'll help a lot. If you want get the autocal, it'll be more in depth and precise. And you can buy a new pulley from them to help with the extra pull from the alternator the fans pull.

most tuning companies use efilive or hptuners I believe. Mine was tuned with hptuners, just as good a program IMO. With the new alt pulley from blackbear, I haven't noticed any drops in amp when they turn on.

Then a tune and a harness and you're all done. Harness, pulley, and tune all come from blackbear
