aluminum radiator / electric or mechanical fan?

[dieseldr4]

hey guys, here is the scenario.. 1986 2wd c-30 crew cab dually 431,000 miles stone stock smog and all, my truck runs like a top and never lets me down.. i have the big copper brass 4 core radiator in it which has been gone through a few times, well once again it is leaking and the headers (where the tanks solder on) are worn out and i need to replace the radiator.. i talk to my radiator guy and he says "i'll give you a free direct fit aluminum radiator, just remember who to call when your shop needs radiator work". so im like yeah right.. well yesterday his guy shows up and drops off a real nice aluminum,all welded, non epoxy direct fit radiator as promised.. here is the question, should i switch to an electric fan set-up or stay stock mechanical? it would be nice to switch, and the windstar elec fan set-up looks like it would work well, but what do YOU guys use and why? this is my daily driver, but it also sees alot of use (and abuse) , lets hear it...would electric fans help my truck warm up better in the mornings??? thank you in advance for any suggestions, great board, you all rock!

If it were me, I'd stick with what has worked for the last 431k. I think DD and work vehicles should be kept stock or close to it, because your paycheck depends on it. Nice score on the free radiator too!
