Definatly! The Black magic 150 will cool your truck much better than your clutch fan. I sell them on my site if your interested. Check it out.

Ryan,

Does this Black Magic 150 bolt right up or does it require modifications to make it work?

Thanks.

I had the BM 150 on my 3.9 Dakota it wasnt enough cooling power in the summer when pulling my boat. I had to go back to the stock fan.

I am not surprised you overheated with a load bein pulled. When hauling loads you need to reinstall the clutch fan. If you haven't installed a 180 deg t-stat yet, do it now or before you pull any more loads.

The Black Magic does not bolt right up on a 2000. Not without some engineering. That year has the window washer fluid res and radiator overflow tanks built in to the fan shroud. I just got through installing mine and I wanted maintain the stock shroud rather than buy ones from an earlier model. It took a little bending on one of the brackets and I needed to make another out of that metal plumber strap but the mod was well worth it. My fan comes on at about 195 deg even tho I have it adjusted at the max temp. Does anyone else have this problem or do I just have a bad thermostat in mine?

I had a 180 T-stat in when I was using the BM 150 It was last summer here in Ohio. I put the stock fan back in and the 190 T-stat its been fine. I wish the BM 150 would have worked I would have kept it on.

Ryan you charge 255 for your black magic 150. Why would I pay that when I can get it for 200 at summit.com? That markup is a bit high dont you think.
