I just meant, is this it. Something that takes hours to install is usually better bought at NAPA. That said, when you get it. Make sure the bearing's turn smoothly. Loose or tight should not be as much of a concern as smooth.

*Warning* about some of those fan supports: Factory fan supports are made of cast aluminum. Many of the aftermarket fan supports are made of cheap low quality POT METAL and the housings on them tend to SHATTER. You think you have problems now not being able to use your truck? Imagine what happens when that bracket explodes at 3000 rpm.
Dont think it happens? A fellow employee tried using that cheap junk after his fan support failed. 6 months after he bought it, the fatigued pot metal broke, and took his belts, timing cover, fan, fan clutch, radaiator, and fan shroud with it. So now, his cheap $100 bracket just cost him $1000 in repairs.
Think about how long that factory fan suport lasted you? 15 years! So really, its $51.20 a year. If you replace that fan support every 6 months or even every year, you're paying WAY over $768 over that period!
btw, if anyone ever wants to get a factory one, contact me. I can get new factory parts for about 20% off list price.
