    That was my thought but I have read of so many cases where it just doesnt cut it, my worry is loss of cooling doing this

    Yeah stick with the mechanical fan mate. You can go to twin thermos I space is restricted but I would recommend an alternator upgrade if you go in that direction.

    As for the small vacuum switch you pictured this is for your idle control when the a/c is on. You can get away with not having this.

    I don't know part numbers but something from 120-150A would be good. It's just if you plan to run spotties, thermos, a winch in the future etc and any other accessories the alternator will help your batteries.

    Yeah I have three LED Light bars (24inch in the bullbar, 30 inch on the roof and a 8 inch at the back) and a new winch and also a cabin of upgrades too. Maybe even if I dont go thermos I might still upgrade my alternator. Hopefully I can keep the mechanical fan.

    You should be able to keep the mechanical if you purchase a new Ti fan assembly. I have a radiator that thick in mine so it certainly fits.

    got me a new genuine fan. it sits a good 2-3 inches back. I prefer a mechanical one because I have heard so many bad stories of people running thermo fans and having overheating problems
