Ya, I looked at mine today and have quite a bit of room everywhere also. I see no flat spot as mentioned either, and no indication of the fan rubbing or hitting anywhere. I'd say I'm good to go too.
Still, thanks for the heads-up Jose.

The way I read it..it's not so much a flat spot as it is a casted part of the plastic that hangs down from the top. It is on the front surface of the shroud in an area you would suspect it to provide some strength to the overall circle of the shroud. The problem is when a fan blade hits this lip it either gets knocked away from the radiator or in some cases it catches and gets knocked into the radiator.
I am very interested in putting on a 6.0 blade as my fan noise is a nuisance in the texas summers.
Does someone have a part number or does any 6.0 fan blade fit?

Leo, my understanding is the 6.0 fans are all the same in their respective trucks, so any 6.0 fan should work. I don't think there are different fan part numbers for the different 6.0-liter equipped trucks.

That's the only flat spot I could find Leo, but I have plenty of clearance from the front of my fan to the flat spot. If that is the spot, I'm wondering if because the motors aren't all exactly in the same spot, ie see some trucks are harder to put in downpipes than others, that some get too close to the front and catch it?
Don't know, just a thought.
