Jim, You should, without a doubt, up grade you cooling fans and AC blower circuit breakers (P.M. #22, 23) if this has not been previously done. Although most of the factory installed relays in the electrical compartment are not of great quality they actually have a rather low failure rate. Purchasing the Relay Update kit is a good investment because it includes not just quality replacement relays but the previously mentioned 35 and 40 amp circuit breakers are part of the kit.

I have mostly all original relays. I know there is an update kit for them, but I was wondering how important it really is. Do the original relays pose a fire hazard? Since I already have the fan fail bypass, I was thinking of just ordering the 40 amp circuit breaker for the cooling fans. Is this a good idea to leave the relays alone or not? Right now I'm trying to figure out a logical order to do my purchases and would appreciate any input that anybody may have.
