This project has been a lot of work BUT I still think it has been well worth the effort. I think so far if you skip the bumper light shaving I have spent about 30 hours on it. Lots of taking the wheels off and fighting with the self tapping screws to get them through. I have lost a bit of steam on the project but my MPG's are so much improved after installing the main section I am motivated now to finsh it off. I also have a lot of planned mods to the truck and I refuse to leave a job un-done.. Must finish!

Yes, I am using the good ol' clutch fan. I Have you changed to electric? What fan did you use and what results did you get? I am very reluctant to run an aftermarket electric fan for relyability fears. I would be inclined to pull one from a wrecked Maxima but I am not sure what type fo controller that would use and if I would need to get an aftermarket one anyway. It's genearally the controllers that cause issues. May be installation error.
