97 GTS radiator fan

[98viperGTS]

I was wondering what year did they put a bigger fan on the Viper? Is it easy to replace the older style fan with the larger one? I have noticed that my 97 does not cool as well as the 98 that I had. It reminds me of my 96. I just want to make sure that I never have an overheating problem, not that I think I have one now. Other easy cooling tips?

I believe it is the 99-02 fan module that was larger and is centered vs. the offset version on our 97's.

If I bought the larger one would it be a direct bolt on or would I have to mod it?

Thanks

I believe there are some mounting bolt location changes, but I am not sure as I also added an aftermarket rad. Plug connector was a plug in.

I put the larger fan in my 96 and I had to change the plug on the harness, and I think just add or remove one or two mounting bolts. It was pretty straight forward.
