Thanks for sharing the project with us DD. I have considered a belly pan for my rig, but don't think it would survive some of the off-roading and snow conditions I subject Big Yeller to. Besides that, I need to lower my headache rack so it isn't sitting up above the cab height, and an aero cap would be next.

I know diesels can be a lost cause as far as warm-up (I'm assuming a diesel from your screen name) but surely you can get to temp in less than 25 miles!

My 1998.5 Cummins has a belt driven fan and blows like a tornado when it's supposedly off. I've often thought there were significant savings to be had by going electric, but the ones built for the Dodge are pricey.
You think it's possible to get a junkyard pull that will work? Any suggestions on what type of vehicle to look for? I don't mind that the cooling capacity will be reduced because I am far from having overheating problems in the first place.
