lets put it this way: im 17 and it was easy. the hardest part was removing the fan. for me is was nuts easy. so easy, in fact, while i was taking it off i thought i did it wrong because all i heard was people sayin it took them hours and had to rent a special tool, yadda yadda. with a good jerk, my fan broke loose of the water pump and just spun it off. then take out two bolts and pull out the shroud. wire up some color-coded wires with instructions (2 hours max) and then just install the fan (30 mins). i cannot express how happy i am with these fans. better throttle response, immensely noticeable acceleration (even for our 4.2L V6!) and the mpgs....right now I'm at 255 miles and only 1/2 tank. before the fans i would grandma it and i would see 350/tank, but it looks like ill be seeing that lucky 400 again (like i did before E10). i can imagine the mileage i would be getting should i go across the border into GA and get straight gas
