I wouldn't recommend it to a 6.0 owner.
Reasons?
6.0 isn't as tough as a 7.3.
If you take care of your 7.3, she shouldn't EVER overheat.
I've never seen too many 6.0 electric fan clutches having issues cooling, but I've heard grumblings about low speed/idle cooling.
I would only recommend for a 6.0 what I stated earlier. Heater bypass and if that doesn't help enough, add a fan.
Testing?
On the dyno, there was 10hp loss between a new and old stock style fan and clutch. Without a fan, I picked up almost 20hp.
Temps without a fan?
Max was sitting for 14 minutes in traffic. I hit 230*. Stock gauge hardly hit mid way. Aftermarket gauge stated 230*.
Have I pulled without a fan?
Yes. Dual axle car hauler with a f150 on it. No issues.
If you are pulling 15-20k with your truck, I wouldn't recommend it. And regardless if you keep the stock fan, remove it, or add secondary fan, always test and monitor your truck.
