this is where a factory designed cooling fan/shroud assembly works very well keeping the temperature in check.
these days, i prefer a factory setup over any aftermarket item, although others have had success using what the aftermarket offers.
just my experience and opinion.
your mileage will vary.

I run a dual electric fan setup from a Dodge Intrepid in my B1500. OEM part from a donor. It along with the aftermarket 3 row rad do a much better job at cooling than the OEM set up ever did.

I am not interested in any chinese electrical parts though. My experience has been I am better off setting the money on fire and saving the aggravation of having to replace them again in the next month or so.
