If I did electric fans, you've got a valve already on the truck that actuates the air clutch. ECM tells it when. Cut that wire, and use it to heat a relay going to the fans. Now you have electric fans that come on with ECM demand, and you can also use your factory manual fan switch.

Might want to consider a shroud around those fans. You will lose a decent amount of airflow through the rad because the fans can pickup and move the air that's already under the hood, rather than pull it through the rad.
Rideandrepair and Oxbow Thank this. -

If you go with an electric fan, just make sure that it can handle your HP. You don't want to over heat and crack your head.Rideandrepair Thanks this.
