so has anyone tried the thermostatic controlled ones? i think im readin this right that all of you used the type that is controlled by the rad probe then again i could be completely off base but assuming that im on the right track here and if anyone did use the thermostatic switch which one on the intake did you take out? there is one with 2 connections on it and one with one connection on it, atleast for my truck and thanks for all the replies they were helpful

Hey shott- Are you sure your clamp amp is set up for dc current. I have several clamp amps- all Amprobe and Fluke- but the clamp functions are allac only. When I test dc current, I use an inline meter that I snagged off an old dc motor controller. In rush on a dc motor can be up to 600% of the running amps, but that is only for an instant. I bet if you put an in-line ammeter on there you'll probably get 14-16 running.

mopower.. thats affirmative.. both my clamp meters have DC -in clamp- measurements. thats the whole reason why i bought them lol.. my frist one was a craftsman..ran about 100$.. worked well for a while but wasnt tuff enough to handle the abuse i threw at it.. my Fluke setup is nearing 700 bones total.. i have a 179 DMM standard set (with leads) case , an i410 clamp meter (AC/DC w/ zero) and a large pin/lead set aswell.. i havnt used my (much better/much more accurate) fluke on my fans yet but my crafsman shot out them numbers that i mentioned above.. this weekend ill reshoot them - startup/constant- with my fluke setup and see how close i was..
boy ill tell ya i love my dc clamp feature.. amp out anything dc w/o breaking a single circuit!
