you will be fine with the 282 and the 28 inch radiator. I have spent some time out @ havasu with my 282's and the 6.0 with no problems!

Are the 295's the smaller ones?

You want the ones that will fit your radiator. The 32" fans don't fit on the smaller radiator. You can make them fit, but it looks like crap and has lots of leaks.

If you are really worried about keeping your cool, step up to the bigger radiator and get the bigger set of fans. The smaller radiator doesn't have the capacity to stay as cool as the smaller one. If you keep the stock thermo, it will be fine.

I thought you have the 295s

The 282s will NOT fit the 28" radiator, they are for the 34"
The 295s are for the 28" radiator like most of us have.
If you decide to step up to the HD radiator (34"), then get the 282s

No ... they mount to the water pump differently.
