That's exactly what I've just done. Easy install, just need a relay for the EBL to control,
and a manual control switch on the dash. You also need to trim the two-piece shroud, though I
suspect if you took the horse collar off the stock shroud it'd probably work. It's a 20" fan,
vs 19" for stock, and it sticks out (toward the radiator) a little more.
I was sick to death of the endless stream of defective fan clutches, so ponied up for this one.
For our latest (very long) trip through lots of very high mountains, we had one clutch that wouldn't turn on,
and another that wouldn't turn off. Driving for hours with a stuck fan clutch is deafening and exhausting.
With the always off clutch, the coach would overheat on hills. It was a loooooong drive. Now we have to
drive back through said mountains.
The fan is a thing of beauty. It's installed, but I haven't tested it yet; hopefully tomorrow.
If it works out, I predict a best seller. Kudos to Tom Pryor for coming up with the kit.
