1. LS1 Fans.

2. LS1Tech.com.

3. $100 - $125.

4. Simple I hear. (I haven't installed mine yet.) Click This Link

5. Yes.

6. It's the electrical harness, you'll need one from Nelson or someone else.

7. Nah.

8. Just have your PCM tuned for what temp the fans turn on and off at, a lot easier route.

No problem bro.

Im new to the whole Gen III thing, but the among the offroad crowd the most popular electric fan is the Taurus 2 speed, and the Lincoln MK8 2 speed. In my offroad circles they are considered to have the most CFM of any easily avalible boneyard unit. Very cheap in boneyards.

You heard wrong. The LS1 car fans are cooling some pretty high HP trucks on these forums.
