Any mods you wouldn't do again?

And for the fans, I got ford Taurus fans. Everyone uses the one from a 3.9 but I didn't know this. I got the regular two fan but don't regret it as there alot thinner. It basically just took some thin metal
Bar I found lying around and some screws and nuts.
I drilled holes in the edge of the fans and used the metal
To bolt them together in 2-3 places and then used the bar to bolt
Them to the two holes thy are already in the radiator and then two more holes/bars off the bottom into the frame. I used some rubber bushings as spacers/shock protection.
I wired it to a relay and a switch, I only needed one so far! And no thermal switches. I know my truck and watch the temp on my scangauge like a hawk. If it gets up to 190 and I'm not cruising I switch it on. No as hard as it sounds.
Sorry for bad iPhone typing!

e-fan conversion
I'm working on the e-fan controller right now.
Thermostatic and PWM control.
The thermostatic probe goes in the rad from the rad filler plug.
The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controls the speed of the fan according to the temperature and A/C on/off.
If you are intimidated by electronics, I suggest you invest in the e-fan controller from SPAL

The idea is that instead of driving the fluid clutch fan all the time mechanically off the engine you do it electrically; ie the alternator is already running off the engine and making extra unused power, why not use it to drive electric fans and reduce the mechanical drag on the engine.
theoretically, that would give you better mileage.

I ran an electric fan on a 94 Jeep XJ (2.5ltr) for a while, until on a summer outing 45 miles out in the AZ desert it took a crap on me. It sucked! We had to baby it about half way back until I had cell phone signal and my brother toed me back into town. Thought I was gonna crack the head or something. Since then, I'm afraid of electric fans. I opted for a plastic fan. Doesnt weigh much at all, and similar benefits.
