Thanks for the support Mopar fam🙏 this fan is doing a great job👍
Hey bud, my pops owns a 2013 Ram R/T in mint condition with only 32,000 miles on it. He needs to sell it and was wondering if you might know of anyone interested? Let me know sir.
@@brandonhill5268 i sure don't, post it on some of the ram forums
30mins install. Whole day making the video. Good job! I need to do this for my 2016Ram
Glad it helped
That fan works really good. Its currently 111 degrees here in Hermosillo Mexico and my Ram is totally fine.
Awesome
Heck yeah man, did mine back in March and here in Texas saw 110* weather, with a stock tstat truck would get up to 212 and cool off to 201
I would’ve never guessed the V6 fan was bigger or better for pulling air through out the whole radiator... but once again.. thanks for all the part numbers and information about it 😉
Me either man but thanks for watching 👍
It's only that way because the e-fan on the Hemi is just a helper fan. The primary fan on the Hemi is the clutch fan
The radiators on both are likely the exact same. The radiator on the Oshkosh M-ATV is actually from a Ram 3500 diesel. I believe the inner-cooler was too but couldn't get it confirmed. There is also a small span of VIN's of Ford Taurus that have F-150 fuel pumps. It's crazy what they reuse, re-purpose and recycle for different vehicles to avoid engineering costs. lol
I wonder if you can run this with the clutch fan if there's enough room?
I did this swap last night. Had an issue with breaking the fan nut free, so I cut the fan off with a sawzall/metal blade. Then I used a 36 millimeter socket on an air wrench to remove the nut. Worked like a charm. One of the projections on the new fan was against the radiator hose, so I cut it down a tad with the sawzall. That way there is no concern of the plastic wearing a hole in the radiator hose. You can see what I'm referring to at 15:10 on this video.
Just ordered mine yesterday 🤟🏽🔥
Awesome 👍
I did a e fan swap on the rango too I was surprised how well it has performed amazin how well a V-6 ram fan works
For sure it definitely pushes more cfm for sure 👍
what did you have to do to make it work on the rango need to do mine
@@tonka459 used a test light to find positive grounds etc wired it directly and zip ties to hold her in place till I was able to make some alum. Brackets
I definitely did this mod as I live in Florida and it definitely helped with my cooling im currently running at a constant 190 and when the T-stat opens i then run at 180 to 187. My oil temperature has dropped by 10 degrees as well..👍👍
Did you have to tune it?
@@elvaquero3030 yes I had to reset the cooling parameters on the computer as the factory settings are set to 204. My particular year which is 17 I had to get an unlocked PCM before I could do those settings.
@@stevelindell5044 What was the new temperature set to? I have an 2013.
@@elvaquero3030 I put a 180 thermostat in and programmed my temperature parameters on my PCM at 190 so my fan kicks on at that temperature. Since yours is a 13 I believe you do not have to buy an unlocked PCM like I did. All you should be able to do is plug in a tuner of your choice and reset the cooling parameters after you get an electric fan and replace the tstat. It will run so much cooler and also once you get rid of the mechanical fan its also less drag on the motor as well.
I just got this fan for my 2013 4.7L! I don’t really care about MPG gains, but the slight performance increase is what’s keeping me going. And much better cooling from the V6 fan!
Where you from how hot does it get? I did this and my truck got hot going up hill on 110 weather
@@faustodiaz2121 Im in california, gets really hot here and it hit 110-115 this summer.
Do you have your A/C on? That needs to be on if you’re un-tuned so the fan turns on.
@@TheSavage3.6 yes I had my a/c on, I'm not tune, I did read about being tune when you do this efan swap but like I said, in hwy speeds and going up hill, it got hot, this was driving towards San Diego, also being @ 90° weather it was still getting hot and Temps wouldn't go down until I got to a rest area, rest for a 1hr started driving again and all of a sudden Temps where back to 203°
What year was the truck you got the fan from
@@eduardovenegas5163 09-12 ram v6
Always good content
Thanks TEAM FROSTBITE
Thanks man
I would highly recommend using the Hemi 5.7 electric fan motor on the V6 shroud and fan blade, Dorman is one of the few assemblies that swap over to that motor, by doing so no wiring modifications are needed. I tried it with a TYCO and the OEM motor wouldn't fit the TYCO blade, different size shaft. The hose should be trimmed about 1.5" to 2" at the thermostat housing so the shroud won't wear a hole thru the hose.
Nice information 👍
@@FrostbiteRam Mapar Guys are notorious for not sharing info, just trying to break the chain.
@@ryanprettyman3123 luckily Mopar ones aren't like those Mapar guys you're talking about.
I was thinking about a dual fan set up for my redeye build into my rt
Me im from Texas 115 soon will be common. I'm going to do the V6 fan, but also have a custom radiator made hopefully 3x thicker than stock. Also put 2 more fans on front of a/c condenser! Can't wait to get R done!
That would be cool
Nice Job I do like that fan a lot better.
Thanks👍
I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn 5.7L Hemi and that V6 fan is what I already have on my truck. Seems like in the summer, it’s always running. My truck does not have a clutch fan.
I did this about 8 months ago from mech fan out to v6 in was like 45-1hr. Just watch out there is another part number for i guess 2018 where the plug on the fan is round. Ask me how I found that out. HAHA. v6 fan+shutter delete+180 stat makes a good combo.
Awesome man it definitely helps out.
InYuco Katan good looking out ..👀
Hot damn hell yeah!
Thanks bro
I have a 2020 classic body and want to still do this
I heard 2018 parts work so I’m guessing I should compare the wires first
Thanks for the video! I may have a faulty clutch on my fan and was looking to replace it when I came as your video. Now I am thinking of doing this instead. Two questions: 1. Did you only use the AC fan before you did this swap and can I get away with just the OEM AC fan for a while in cooler temps? 2. As far as tuning, I’ve had a SCT tuner before and didn’t see an option for cooling temps or I missed it. Do you know which tuner I’d need to do this mod?
Thanks!!
Wow, a mod I actually had done before you haha! I've got the same fan from Amazon, installed a few months ago, and no problems. Been plenty of high 90 degree weather and tons of humidity, my temps stay 185-188 with a 180 t-stat and Greene tune. Temp will creep up to 192-194 sitting in traffic, but hasn't hit 200. Hot lapping it may be a different story, but you may be better off with a 160 t-stat?
Good information 👍
Well after reading all the comments I think I got my answers but I'm going to double check . I have a 2018 hemi 5.7 ram 1500 and this will fit right in?
and if I want to adjust the temp I can use my Diablo tune? And the fan on the water pump what thread is it?
Thanks in advance
My 2017 Laramie has both electric and mechanical. I have already had to replace the electric and am concerned that if I don't have the mechanical fan how it would survive. It is a 4x4 and I am often deep in the woods.
Would keeping the stock e-fan and the factory clutch fan shroud not be a good alternative to swapping out the efan itself and dropping the factory shroud? I've been running this for some time and haven't had temperature issues. The fans also dont look that different IMO besides the shroud. Thoughts?
I was thinking the same thing haha, so you run the factory fan? And did you change the temp ranges with a tuner?
I just got a V6 fan, 190° T'stat (no need for 180 in upstate N.Y.) couple new hoses a neck and an all aluminum rad. Truck has just under 70K and every winter when outside temps drop into teens the stock rad pees coolant all over and I spend all winter pouring more in the res tank.
I haven't lokked into it yet but it looks like the tabs that help secure the V6 fan are part of the stock rad plastic tank molding as there aren't any on the aluminum rad, obviously. Will the rest of the mounting points be sufficient to secure the V6 unit or will I need to break out some Gorilla tape to supplement?
Also, I have a Superchips f5 tuner. I run the 93 tune with MDS off, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what the "stock value" and the "superchips value" temp settings are in the tuner. They also include a 180 and 190 setting, but the other two don't reference a temp number so they're kinda pointless and I can't get the guys ay superchips to tell me what they are. Apparently it's fine sort of matter of national security to reveal to the customer what the actual temp settings are for some reason.
Your input appreciated.
I have a 13 ram ...will the fan fit cause Amazon says the newest year 2010
If anyone sees this comment, please reply.Would be much help
I been following this channel for a while now and im digging the vids and the content/quality but when i seen this i was like oh shit hes right thats all he was missing 😅 ima wait till he does the review update on this one so i can see if its gonna be worth it im a big believer in you get what u pay for but tbh im kinda skeptical about this $100+ fan lasting long but if it does ima pull the trigger ASAP😎🍻
Definitely will do some updates 👍
Does your truck have to be tuned to use the fan
@@kennethjohnson9674 just to have your e fans turn ot a specific degree
Anyone know if this mod can work on the 2010 cherokee?
I’m running the Diablo 93 tune. If I do the fan mod do I need to adjust the fan temp with the tuner? It’s just a daily driver truck no towing.
No you don't have to
I have a 2013 ram. Evidently the plug changes after 2012. Not sure if I can use this fan on mine for plug and play? Any idea?
Just use a different plug or hard wire the fan nbd.
Swapping to a e fan on my 2011 ram going with a 180stat
Awesome
I have the clutch fan in my 2015 ram 5.7 with no tune. Any thing particular I need to do before adding this fan? Shutter delete or new Thermostat required or is it just a drop in fan?
Fan will drop in place of factory fan
I'm about to replace my wife's radiator in her 2007 Aspen 5.7. Any idea what I can use for an electric conversion? I was thinking a 5.7 magnum shroud set up but I'm not 100% sure it would bold up and I'm not seeing any off-the-shelf kits available. Thanks.
Thats a good question 🤔 now really sure on that but the magnum may be good candidate.
Hey guys will that trick work on like 4.7 1500 dodge ram 2005??
So this is a replacement for both fans that come from factory on a 4th gen ram
you where scaring me putting them wrenches on that battery lol
I do the same shit 😂🤣 all fun n games till u get lit like a race tree
@@bmanclassics4350 😂😂😂😂😂 sadly I've been there before lmao
Lol yeah I'm usually pretty careful with that 😅

Does anyone know if a 2019 v6 Fan would fit on a 2019 V8 hemi version? Or is the wiring harness different?
The v6 fan should work or the one in this link
Do you have to change thermostat and if tune so fan can kick in at a certain temp?
The fan is a direct drop in dont have to change anything els
How was it when you removed the manual clutch fan did it still cool the engine, before swapping the electric fan
Yes it did pretty good
I would like to know when the engine rises temperature the fan turns on by itself
Yes or if the ac is on it should come on immediately most the time.
Hey bro by any chance you can send me the link for that e fan I’ve been trying to find one but I don’t wanna buy the wrong one because I know on the 14 and up the fan plug is a bit different from 09-12 or 13 I would really appreciate thank you.
Hey how are you
I have a problem with my 2011 ram hemi the new clutch fan I put on don’t work and I change 4 of them the. Same problem
What can it be please?
Clutch fan runs off water pump how does it not work
any reason this would not work with a vanaram air grabber on an 2018 1500?
Should still fit
Do we need to replace the thermostat as well, or would the stock one work?
Not completely necessary but a 180 works perfectly
Did you notice after you installed the v6 electric fan that it was louder then the stock v8 electric fan?
No sound about the same to me
So wen ever i do this swap...i DO NOT NEED to replace my cluth fan back in the truck right?? Confuse?
No you should be fine without the clutch fan especially if your not towing
Is it true you need to tune it to get the correct operación temperature??
It should be fine as a replacement.
Will this set up fit my 04 srt10
How do you do the clutch fan conversion?
Did you have to add any blue loctite to the nut on the fan? I seen a couple posts where the nut got loos and fan came off
Mine been on for years now no problem
dose this swap requires any flashing? Or is that just if your putting in a thermostat to make the truck run cooler?
Don't need any tunes to use this fan.
The fan will come on when the AC is on or once the coolant hits 200f on stock tuning as on the V8s the stock fan is supplementary to the clutch fan.
I just ordered the e fan from moes the 180 it’s the same thing right?
I believe so
I'm curious as to what I need to do about the '05 I have. Get a v-6 electric fan for that year? How would I hook it up since I currently have a clutch fan?
You could remove the clutch fan and install a aftermarket electric fan pretty easily
@@FrostbiteRam what does the electric fan hook to to turn on though as far as the connection for the fan motor? I'm assuming the electric fan bolts up the same way as the fan shroud? What about the washer fluid/coolant recovery tank? Does it mount the same way on shroud for the electric fan?
I have a 2012 model 4x4 hemi.
. Can i do it? Its the same truck?i
Its plug and play? Ty in adv.
Yes it will work.
What temperature does the efan kick on? And would a 180 degree thermostat effect that?
If you swap out the stat you’re going to have tune your stat to open up earlier and your fan to also come on earlier
@@BlackRam17 yeah that was 2 years ago I needed up trading the truck for a 2016 Camaro ss
How did this swap affect your operating temps? Any better or worse?
Cools down much faster
do you have to do any reprograming for the fan to come on at temp
No
How loud is the v6 fan when on? I installed a spal e-fan and it's so loud its embarrassing... sound like there's something wrong with my truck. Please let me know
Thanks
I can hardly hear it very quite
Perfect thankyou🤙
Looked up the fan on Amazon. Amazon is telling me that it does not fit my 2011 ram 1500. Is amazon telling me that because it is a v6?
Thats correct its for the v6 rams but it does fit the v8 also. The v6 fan has larger fan.
My 2014 ram comes with the clutch fan. Should I do away with that thing?
It up to you but does free up a small amount of free power.
Will this work with a 2012 ram Rt direct bolt in with right plug
Yes
Got a 13 ram if i do this do i have to tune the truck to turn them on
They will turn on with factory settings or you can tune to come on earlier
Once that fan is installed, isn't there some programming to do, to tell the vehicle it's installed and what temperature it should kick on at?
Nope but custom tuning can adjust when it comes on
@@FrostbiteRam That's what I thought. I heard the AC fan not only comes on with the AC, but will provide additional cooling once the engine temperature hits 220 degrees. If that's the only fan, it should probably be kicking in around 200.
In the mean time for my daily driver can I just pull off my clutch fan and run stock electric for now?
I did that for the longest time with no issues especially with a tune .
Awesome thx
Hey frostbite, how come you didn't want to install your own fan switch for your new fan instead of using the same auto-temp relay from your original fans set up??
Because I have the the fan coming on early in the tune
@@FrostbiteRamwhat temperature you have the fans coming on ?
I have a 2014 Ram hemi and my transmission is overheating would you know why or how to fix this issue ?
Could be the thermostat I believe the 8speed has one.
@@FrostbiteRam Where would that thermostat be at ? Is it by the transmission ? I dont know how to fix this I did changed the fluid but im still overheating
When I was looking into it say doesn’t fit for my 2009 Dodge Ram 5.7 hemi and when I do it need to be tune up or just plug and play thanks
Its for a v6 ram so its going to say it won't fit but it does work.
Oh ok thank man and do I have to tune it up or just plug it in and run it like that thanks for tips and help Appreciate it
@@adammontez8953 just plug it in
I have 2011 5.7 2500 with clutch fan this need tune?
No tune but you can adjust settings with tune.
Any chance you could tell me the diameter and width of the V8 fan ?
Thanks
I dont have my old one anymore lol but they are very similar.
I was kicking around the idea of using a ram v8 fan as a push fan on the front of my Duramax but can’t find any info on just how big the fan is could you tell me the diameter of the V6 fan to give me an idea ?
Frostbite Ram I have two questions for you. One should I pay off by truck before building it? Two should I build my 2019 ram 1500 single cab truck into a badass race truck or build for off road? Ps if anyone else want to answer too. I do want to know what Frostbite thinks about it tho.
My vote would be pay it off and build it for the track/street. If you want to go off road I would buy a old beater for that.
@@FrostbiteRam Thanks man. I will do that then. just so u know I love your truck. My trucks has the 5.7 Hemi in it with a single exit Flowmaster exhaust and yes the exhaust came with the truck. My truck is a Superbee edition but it has manual windows and manual locks that's the only thing I don't like about it.
My truck is also a automatic
@@wolfiestorm532 awesome 👍
Should bolt on to a 2014 2500 5.7 hemi correct?
I would think so but not 100% sure
Does your truck have to be tuned to use the fan
No it doesn't have to be tuned
I have an auto zone brand. You think yours is more efficient? Or Better than mopar efan?
Either work
I wonder if this would fit my 2002 ram 5.9 v8 magnum.. mine has a factory clutch fan in front of original rad An a electric fan beside it with original air conditioning rad
I would think you have plenty of room to make it work. The electrical connection may be different tho but nothing a trip to the salvage yard won't handle.
Frostbite Ram my worry or wonder is if the rad size of mine from top to bottom an left to right is the same size as your rad in order to have the fan shroud fit into my rad .. I guess I would have to measure my rad an then see if it will .. only thing is I don’t know the size of rad that yours is
I can get measurements for you
@@DarrensTruckzs will this work? Im thinking about doing the same thing
Frostbite Ram if you could give me the measurent of your rad from top to bottom An from side to side that be greatly appreciated then I check mine thanks man 👍
What tuner did you use to change the on off temp settings? Thanks
At that time I was with Jay Greene you can also use a diablo sport programmer or hp tuners
@@FrostbiteRam thnx for the reply. I wanted to order the Diablo due to it being less expensive than the others but I read a bunch of comments saying that you can't change the fan settings with it. Now that you gave me the confidence in it I'm going to order one now 🤣
@@HotOneRecordz yes I had the diablo trinity t1000 it worked great
@@FrostbiteRam perfect! Thanks!
So funny not sure why I thought it was going to cost way more lol
And did u say u have deleted ur clutch fan already
Damn I’m going to go pull mine off to
And order this on pay day
Down graded my truck to save money on payments and have a 18 😅
How long have u run just factory e fan
hey man did u have to tune this specific e-fan?
No
How do u get it to click on sooner ?
Custom tuning
Are you running a stock radiator or something different?
Stock
I have a Dodge RAM 2500 5.7 v8 engine that I can put that fan on it
What you mean completely installed on frostbite?
“Frostbite” is the name of his Ram. That means, he completely installed the fan on his Ram.
Any tune necessary to get this to work?
Nope, plugs right in. But you can adjust fan settings with tuning.
@@FrostbiteRam Thanks man!
Would this fit a 2019 1500 slt classic v8?
Should
Is this piece fix on Ram 1500 2009 4gen 4.7.
5.7
What air intake set up you runnin'?
A torqstorm supercharger lol but before being boosted a mopar oem kit
What kinda mpg improvements did you see?
You won't gain or loose anything with this for mpg really.
Is plug and play? Or have to to something on the computer or alpha obd for the thermostat temp?
Do you need tuning?
No
What gears you running ?
Stock 410s
U delete the fan clutch ?
Yes
Will this fit for the 99 Rams
Not sure on that the electrical connection is probably different.
I did my water pump radiator and thermostat last night, and broke the new one this morning on the way to work. I’m having a bad day... this is the solution, and oreily auto is gonna pay. I am a mechanic, and this has never happened to me before. A goose then something let loose. From the sound I thought it was gears or something. Nope, just a fan clutch still on the pulley playing helicopter in my engine bay. Chopped the top hose, and ate the fan shroud. It better not have poked a fucking hole in my brand new rad
Damn.
I had my suspicions it was a cheap part. The aluminum looked more like bb’s pressed together than a cast part. And the pump blades were plastic. I went through the shop I work at so it a guarantee that I will get a more expensive pump for my troubles. I need truck friends.
Any issues as of today? I plan on doing this swap as well
Nope
The plastic cover on the E fan can dig into your coolant hose and break it. The fan shroud is sharp I’m still looking for a better solution but for now I have foam zip tied around my hose
Would this fit my 2012 ram?
Yes
Do I need a tune for this
No
What year is your truck
2011
Did u put in a 180 tstat
Yes
Ty now I know what to do for mines
So do I just buy a ram 1500 v6 OEM fan?
Pretty much or the Dorman like in this video.
@@FrostbiteRam you wouldn’t happen to have a link for these do you there all out of stock on rock auto
@@DubstepDestroys the link should be in this video description from Amazon
Does it fit 2015 ram
Yes
My fan just came in, do I need any special tools to take off the clutch fan
@Frostbite Ram does it work with 3rd gens also
Not sure about the connector on the 3rd gen.
