I just installed a flex-a-lite 674 Toyota specific fan and am very happy. Updated "big 3" wires and 130A alternator. Install is fairly quick and straight forward. 40A instant draw with 19A continuous draw. I also put in a manual switch to override t-stat and give manual ON and OFF plus a 12V indicator lamp to know when the fan is on. All of the above are explained on 4crawler.com

Cheapest was on Amazon.com about $260 shipped. There are cheaper ways but I didn't want used parts.
