Default Running Electric Fans?

Has anyone replace there fan clutch with electric fans or if it is even possible. I just hate pulling out my fan clutch everytime i got to get to the front.

Electric fans work good for a play truck but they don't move enough air to keep your truck cool if tow anything heavy. Other than that I've heard good things about them. I know they make a kit for Cummins, not 100% sure about the strokers though. You can buy fans and do it yourself easy enough if your ambitious.

Couple of the heavy hitters towed their "play trucks" down to TS. Running electrics had no issues for them. It's your call.

Last I knew there wasn't any electric fans on the market that can pull the same CFM's as the stocker does, but as others have said, some use them without issue. I wouldn't put them on if I was towing all the time.
