    CAN it be done? Yes, with a little work. SHOULD it be done? No, because it causes excessive load on the engine and will affect your fuel economy as well as longevity.

    mount a metal flex fan. like this , that one isnt made for our trucks, just an example. i dont think one they make one for our trucks but dont think it would be hard to accomplish. anyone who builds motors knows how well a flex fan works. i like the idea.

    this is one of the weirdest mod ideas i've ever heard..why would you want to do this, and why would you like the extra noise & wear associated with it?

    I agree, but tons of people want there trucks exhaust louder, even spend money on headers and such, for minimal gains, just more noise.
