Just bought this truck a week ago and it starts to get really hot while idling. i think the electric radiator fan is dead. I am on a very small budget and need to get it fixed soon. what other vehicles might have the same fan that would fit or work in my 4.7L v8?

Fuses are fine. What else could I do?
