Electric fans just shift the exact same burden to the electrical system. Are you willing to put it to a higher strain? Might gain a little in solo driving, but the question always exists as to whether an aftermarket set of e-fans is capable of the same duty rating as the mechanical fan.

As the test of a truck is how it does under maximal loading (payload and trailer; else why have a truck?) it's not a risk I'm willing to take. Were the design as good as what Shepherd777 works with I'd be more confident.

Best tire/shock choice, perfect alignment and zero steering slop is a better goal.
