I used some radiator ties to mount mine. When you trim down the ridges so that they will sit flush on the radiator, dont trim off the top one. I got careless and cut mine off so I had to add a piece of aluminum angle to make it work. I am using a thermo switch to turn mine on/off. Here are a few pics of my install. http://www.dive-n-drive.com/stuff/fans There is a wiring schematic in there as well.

hey 02denali thanks for the pictures ,it looks like you mounted it in about 3 places if i am seeing correctly. looks very nice and i like how much room it gave you without the factory shroud. but do you have any problems with overheeting in the summer while towing?
