The fan/fan clutch is stock.

And even if you converted it to an electric fan, it is best to make it operate off of engine/coolant temps. A manual switch means you must ALWAYS watch the temp gauge or run the fan all the time....then there is no reason for a switch.

If you remove the stock fan and clutch and replace it with an electric fan don't work the truck hard. It will overheat. There is a reason no heavy duty truck uses an electric fan. That reason is they don't move enough air.

It is mechanical and what I wanted to do was to be able to turn the fan on just before a hill climb to keep the engine cool so it wouldn't have to work as hard to cool back down once it hit 210/215 degrees. I have not had any problems with it so it's kinda one of those things if it aint broke don't fix it. more or less I have a rocker switch that says engine fan and wanted another switch on the dash. thanks.

There is seriously nothing to be gained here.
