Im looking for a complete OEM 34" radiator/efan setup from an 05+. I found the fans alone cheap on car-part but they are from the a 4.3. I'm wondering if it's the same as what the v8s have. Thanks.

Yes, the 05 style fans and rad bolt right in, you'll just need 2 more bolts for the efans and you'll have to trim the rubber flaps on both sides of the radiator. The hoses even slide right on

I installed the 05 fans and 34 rad on my truck and let me say it was worth every penny.
