The fan kit I got was the flexalite kit with the dual fans and everything. (Most Hummer aftermarket sites have em) The price was around $500 give or take $50. I am going to wire it up all this time with the thermostat it comes with and put a kill switch for any reason I would ever get into water or something crazy.

As far as the above post saying "Don't waste my time", well sir, to each his own.

I know its crazy but it can't hurt. I don't tow anything bigger than my moomba outback so it's going to be fine.

They make a fan clutch wrench , you can rent at local auto parts stores
once you get that wrench in place on the nut, give it wack with a hammer!
(with the belt on of course) If that doesn't work, you can nudge it loose with an air hammer on the edge of the nut, but only if your comfortable doing that. Or you can bring a case of BEER to my house and I'll take off for you! Almost forgot to mention counter clockwise on that nut.
