So some of you guys have been asking alot about the fans, well here ya go....

PARTS:

I bought 2 of these fans.....
14 Universal Pro Cool Electric Cooling Fan with Reversible Curved Blade | eBay

I was able to get a piece of galvanized metal for $20 im sure the prices will vary but shouldn't be too bad its about 1/16" thick.

Need wiring, fuses, silicone, and self tappers.

DIRECTIONS:

1. I Got the galvanized and had it cut to 29 3/4" X 21"

2. I had to use a grinder but i traced out the fans "od" and cut about a 1/4" inside of the lines to form the hole.

3.Once i got the holes cut out i sanded the galvanized then sprayed about 4-5 coats of high temp clear coat on it.

4.I then layed out the fans and use self tappers to mount them to the metal, once i floated them into place i applied high temp silicone around the whole fan "x2" to help secure and seal the fans.

5. Once the silicone dried I slipped the fans behind the radiator and used 5 self tappers to secure it to the radiator support.

6. We then hooked up the wiring, i had some issues finding the fuse to tap into so we just ran 2 toggle switches inside the cab. " made sure you add 2 fuses in the harness"

Pictures:

Fans when they came in


Fans layed out ready to trace


A look at what i came up with


Heres a picture of the fans mounted and everything cleaned up pre-silicone


Mounted in the truck




We tucked all the wires, and it looks alot cleaner with the intake and such on. if i need more pics i can take em. we did the swap along with the stall so i was in a bit of a rush. hit me up if u all have any questions.

 

put them in [img] please, much easier to view

 

hope that helps...

 

Does that hose wrap add power?

 

setup looks good man. But I'd do one or the other on that hose.

 

How hot of temps have you tested these in?


Would you benefit from cutting a little more metal away from the sides and such to allow for more air flow through radiator during highway speeds?

 

I have same questions .... Although I've already been down this path and know the answer.

 

whats the answer then?

 

Why would you mock him and ask such a smart *** question, when the op is obviously contributing to the forum...

Looks good op!

 

im running around 192-195 water temps in 90-105 outside temps...? and ya i know im goin to be messing with the cosmetic crap soon. hard when u have a big *** mortgage haha. but it runs cooler, and looks alot better. as far as holes idk? could cut a few slits i guess but theres about 3.5 inches between it and the radiator you can feel it pulling threw the front of the truck i think it works fine?
