Cut the wire-loom back as far as you can from the Pig-tail.
Won't be able to peel back all that much of the factory tape
but, get as much as you can. (At least 10" would be nice).
Take a Jump-Starter-Pack with you. Also, a wire cutter /
stripper. Just cut and strip the three wires, & touch to the
jumper cables. Black is ground, other two are high and low.
I think if I remember right; You'll have black - white - yellow.

 

Besides the Lincoln Mark VIII electric fan
Audi elec fans have been reported to be about the right size and high flow
and the other day a guy doing a Magnum V8 swap into an older Mopar
found that the SL Mercedes fan was high Flow

But keep in mind when the stock clutch fan is disengaged and slipping along at about 800 rpm no matter what your engine rpm is, the load is less than 2 hp on the engine

 

I talked to the owner of the dealership where I work about getting those fans but I haven't heard anything back just yet. I'll keep yall posted about this. FYI, mine hit 210 idling at a gas station last night with 60 degree ambient temps in about 5 minutes and it usually runs about 160

 

just wanted to chime in here, that i just installed a e-fan in my Dakota. I used this to wire it up, and it was super easy.

It can control 2, two speed fans. Uses a rad probe so it can work on any vehicle.
It is adjustable via a small dial to turn the fans on when you want them to.
The only draw back is it has 40 amp relays. You guys running those Mark VIII and Taurus fan will need at least 50 amp relays.
For my little V6, i picked up a Permacool fan that flows 2350 cfm, but only draws 11 amps. Seems to be working just fine.

 

if your doing alot on inclined driving i would suggest leaving you fan clutch on or getting a high flow electric because the stock one on 2000+ models cant handle it. I almost pulled over and threaded my old seized fan clutch back on just so my engine wouldnt blow.

or my pcm was giving me the wrong reading but i doubt it.

I was driving on these back roads heading to a hunting spot and we made a climb to the top of the hill, it was a pretty good climb and that sucker jumped up to 230+ with the efan blazing. Luckly we reached the apex of the hill and just coasted back down. It droped down within the first quarter mile to running temp but i was scared for a sec lol!

Prolly didnt help that the ac was on but yea, thats why there is a clutch fan lol. I will prolly go by autozone this weekend and pick up a better efan lol

 

i took my clutch fan off the other day and have only done city driving and the efan has only come on once. it seems to take a while to get to 212 even with the clutch fan off.

 

I'm actually finishing up my efan install as well. I went to the junk yard and got the taurus fan. I'm using a fan controller that I picked up at advanced auto to control my low side, but I have a switch on the dash to switch it to the high side if I ever need it while towing. I'm using an 80 amp single pole, double throw relay to switch between the two. Right now I'm just waiting for the maxi fuse holder to get to my house that I ordered on ebay. That'll be for the high side.

 

What year range tarus fans fit? and do they push enough air for a off roader? lol

 

I'm not sure of the exact years, but the fan to buy is from the early to mid 90s taurus with the 3.8 liter engine. Make sure the fan has 3 wires. There'll be a low, high, and a ground. The high speed will be enough for anything. I had the high speed running while it was sitting in my garage, and it was only a matter of seconds for it to cool down when I turned it on.

 

I'm pretty much done with this, so I decided to take some pics of what I did. I decided to try something a bit different, and try to give the install a cleaner look rather than have everything out in the open. Since I have room where the factory air filter use to be, I went ahead and fabed a bracket to mount this box on the factory studs. I went ahead and ran a #4 cable directly from the battery so that everything could be powered from that, and also because I plan to add something else into this box down the road. The truck isn't my daily driver, so I was able to work on this at my leisure, and do everything exactly the way I wanted it. Also, I'm laid off right now, and incredibly bored of being in the house because of the cold
