Thanks for the help guys. I ended up just going with a "premium" 2-row. I only needed the electric fan and the shroud for the mechanical one. Lifetime warranty for $84. Would like to have upgraded further but I need to get this back on the road and only have so much money to work with.

Supposedly more CFM's & the ability to turn it off at a water crossing.

I run a 3 fan setup and I got less than 100$ in it about 70 for the fans and 35 for the duel fan controller third fan runs off the factory ac circuit all three are on a manual shut off switch
