Ok I got a question since the 2500's have a 42 inch radiator what would you folks suggest. I want a shroud but should I just make or have one made and should I go with the 282 or 292 fans. I think the 292 are a bit bigger. I want to get about 6000 cfm flow. And does anyone have one with a Trans Cooler is it effected at all.

Ok that was a bunch of question sorry

I'm not sure if there's a size difference between the 282 & 292. The 282 fans move about 5500 cfm. I've got a trans cooler mounted in front of the radiator so it benefits from the increased airflow. It's a Tru-Cool unit and has a check-valve in it so that it's by-passed until the tranny fluid warms up.

It's not so much a fit issue as an ease of installation issue.  With the stock GM unit, basically slide the shroud into the tabs at the bottom and secure with the four bolts that secure the non efan shroud.

18x10 Forged Weld Wheels, BFG g-Force KDWs, JBA shorties, custom catback with FM70, Crane plug wires, Trailblazer Torque Converter, bigger cam, efans, HP Tuners custom tune, WAAG stuff, mildly boosted with Vortech Supercharger.......

ok, I got my taxes back and now I'm looking at alternators. For those of you who have upgraded let me know what amperage you used and why. Also let me know what brand and why.
