I was leaning toward the electric setup cause of the power loss (20hp?) Of the stock fan setup
Pull the thermostat and get rid of that little ball bearing "check ball" in the upper radiator hose neck. Your bleeding problems will be over.
Why? Not only will it do far less than the stock fan does if it gets hot enough to lock in, but it's just that much more to fail.
And, the clutch should be keeping it from drawing much power when it's /not/ hot.
Electric fans are for toy cars, not trucks.
