Sl2racer,
Which fan did you take out? How has your temp gauge been acting in these recent scorcher days? A little to the left of vertical as usual or does it creep to vertical or further? Mine stays solid at the usual point and never goes past even with the a/c sitting still. I also have a regular thermostat. I'm on my phone so I can't see your signature, but what year and model do you drive?
I'm on epic wide displays with no side scrolling :P

You didn't put in any returns, so the pictures and text are all stringy. I always try to put a return or 2 before and after any pictures.

It definitely revs much easier and sounds better when doing so. Read through the whole post and comments and you'll get more detail, but pretty much I have had zero instances where it ever went past it's usual "just left of vertical" position in my hot Florida weather.

I added the lines before and after pictures. Hopefully this helps.

Default 2 Years Later Update

Well it is still going strong. I have had zero issues other than my own **** expectations- I have cleaned the terminals of my controller a couple of times and have added a coat of liquid electrical tape to the terminals to help protect them from moisture. This controller is really nice. I never bothered installing the LED indicator light as I can tell when it's on if I listen carefully and just glance at my temp gauge every once in a while. It really is pretty much maintenance free.

I wanted to update to let people know that it is still one of the best things I have ever done/upgraded on my truck.


I'm pretty much done with modding my truck at this point. I have it to a point where I'm happy with it and just worry about routine maintenance. My money and brain power are freed up for other hobbies and my truck is paid off and good to go.

Very cool; I still need to build myself a fan shroud for my liberty fan.
