I have, right now, a fan shroud and the stock fan...Is it worth it to get the electric fan? A guy told me once that my fan clutch was broke.

So firstoff, do I even need to get an elec. fan, will it cause it to be that much cooler? Thanks guys,

With the stock fan and a shroud you sould be fine.
If you have a higher than stock HP engine and A/C you may consider an electric one.
Be sure to replace the clutch if it is bad. I assume you have a somewhat newer truck with the thermostatic clutch, the aluminum thing with fins between the fan and water pump.

well Hardy,Grigg is right on the money.Here we go with the money again.If the thing worked fine with the clutch fan and schroud.Replace the clutch fan or put a stock fan on.The schroud will take care of the cooling.If you go the electric fan expect to pay around $145.Fan $90-theromstat switch $35.Relay for switch $10.Check out the bone yards .Good luck
