This does mark a definitive fork in the road! I'd probably go electric at this point. That's what's good about the forum. Someone's usually around to think a little out of the box, when the rest of us aren't!

remove you fan shroud, air intake tube/s take off the belt, thred the 4 bolts out of the water pump pulley then left it out then thread the 4 botls out of the back side of the fan blade.

Can't be too careful. Think of the consequences! Then, check you bank account!

Bank account for sure is my issue at this point, just dropped a lot of money on a drag link, front U-Joint, alignment, new hood, chrome bezel, and bumper...I wish people could learn how to drive in the snow and not nail my truck and take off. Thanks for the help guys.
