$155 for a multiple speed Viper fan.

How about a Mark VII fan? I just bought one for my other truck. Dual speed fan. I will run it a low speed all the time. The full speed setting will only kick on when the truck heats up to preset temp.

Has any one tried the LMC electric fan?

I've got the same fans as Ocbaud and love them. No problems whatsoever on the fans.

I don't have the links handdy but apparently getting a couple of fans out of Taurus works really well. There are links on the 'net about this specific conversion.
