the hot new thing now is the 05 electric fans that come standard on the 05 1500's.
You radiator is already the correct size.
It bolts right up.
There's a few ways to wire them.
I purchased a harness through Nelsonperformance. Saves me the headache and time.
You have a few operating choices.

As far as the fans go.

I bought an electric fan from the junkyard out a mid 90's ford taurus with a 3.8 motor and it keeps my truck around 180 all day. The fan cost me $25 and I wired it so it comes on when my truck is running. It also fits nicely under the shroud and pulls very little current when running. FYI

 

I'm not exactly cure what temp you should turn the fans on at with a 160 stat - but I want to say the minimum you'll run is around 175 or so. So maybe 180?

I'm running the stock t-stat and I have my fans set to turn on at 212*F. They hardly ever run. I've been considering getting a 160-stat, and wiring up a switch for dual-temps. (easy as pie with the DCC fan controller). I'd run the 212 I use now for daily driving, oil life, emissions, etc. etc.... but then switch to a 180 setting or so when I'm at the strip or towing.

 

On at 185 off at 175. Of course, I set mine to come on a 100* and go off at 10*...

But hey, I live in hell.

 

I have the Flexalite 282s with the Nelson harness, I use a 160* Thermosat, mine runs a 185 all day. The fans come on a around 190.

ye sif you buy a nelson harness you have to have the pcm corrected for it and have it turned on. for the 160 therm it comes on at 189 and off at 182.
