There has been considerable discussion here to find an electric fan replacement for the original fan/fan clutch. As I understand it, a good electric fan possibility has been found, although a high current draw requires a new alternator, new wiring, additional brackets, controller, relays, etc.

Here is where I am aparently missing something. I have traveled over 260thousand GMC miles under all weather conditions, without problems in maintaining normal operating conditions, with OEM equipment. Don't get me wrong, I support upgrades & improvements that provide better performance in needed areas. Here is where I am aparently missing something, replacement of a simple well performing system, with a system that requires a number of additional parts (which likely means lower reliability) in an unproven application for questionable gain, brings me back to my question, what am I missing?

I'm sure someone out there will set me right :^)
Thanks
