I've been seeing some threads about overheating - so I wanted to point what we've see over in CRD land

all CRD's come with the heavy duty cooling - i.e. electric pusher fan for the AC and mechanical puller in case things get hot.
root of our problem is that the fan clutch initially is set too high - and then dies easily
so folks are replacing it with the Hayden 2905 severe duty clutch and the Gasser 11 bladed plastic fan
the Hayden engages ~ 20 degrees before the Mopar as designed and the 11 blade seems to move a lot more air (at least the AC seems cooler)

Hayden lists a 2736 reverse rotation for the V6 - if yours isn't engaging it - might be worth a look.

also - Kap was tired of playing with clutches and got rid of his - the Fixed Flex Fan mod

your spacing would be different
