2500hd, with the 8.1, electric fan and any info please
i have a 2002 2500hd, 4 wheel drive. it has the 8.1 liter in it... which i think is awsome. any way was looking at getting rid of the stock fan on the front of the engine and installing an electric fan setup. does anyone know anything about finding one or even if there is one. also i was looking for some info on the 8.1. i kinda lost track of any info after the 454 was replaced. any info or input would be great. any exhaust ideas would be greattoo. i want to make a sleeper out of it. i dont want alot of noise as much asi want the free flowing performance, i also tow four horses and anything alse that will fit on a twenty foot flat bed gooseneck trailer.
many thanks
many thanks

The thing is, how many people herehave a setup like yours? and have done what you are trying to do? and not everyone is on all the time. Sometimes people just don't know the answer or have a clue, and the one person that might knowmay only login every other week or some thing like that.That's why in my greeting I said "someone here MAY be able to help".

i did the efan on my 6.0. get atune from blackbear so that they can turn the fans on, order a harness thru them, measure rad, find flexalite fan or an OEM one if you can that will fit. and just follow the directions your giving with the harness. its really not that bad on a job but il be honest it dosnt do awhole lot. the best mod if done was just the black bear tune. i know your engines different and all but i cant see the efan doing much more for you then it did for me. il go so far as to say it was more so a waste of my money. i got the fans for 50, and was getting the tune anyway, but they dont help that much.
