i'm also running the dorman/hayden setup. fits perfectly and runs well. it makes a little more noise than the oem setup but i'm happy to live with that rather than keep running the old plastic and hoping it doesn't fly apart.

Update to future visitors; The fan cut a hole in the oil filter, that's where the engine oil came from.
