First, you will need to determine if you can fit a puller style electric fan such as # FLX264 between the radiator and the motor. A puller fan like this sits behind the vehicle radiator and pulls air through. You would need to have greater than 4-1/2 inches of depth for this fan to fit. It is also 27 inches across and 29 inches tall. Provided you have the space you can use it on your 2008 Chevy Express 3500.
If there isn't enough space behind the radiator you could mount a pusher fan in front of the radiator, again assuming that there is enough space, such as # FLX432. This fan is 26-1/4" wide x 15-1/2" tall x 2-5/8" deep.
