i'm also interested in taking my stock fan out and putting electric fans in. if anyone has info on this topic or can direct me to a DIY then i would greatly appreciate it. any tips or tricks is also appreciated. thanks!

 

I am asking the same question. I know a few guys that have put them on there Cummins and the results they say have been worth the effort. I have a '09 Hemi and am asking will this work for a gasser? The elimination of that fan has to reduce the strain on the engine therefore increasing milage and performance. My Cummins friend bought his fan system through Flex-a-lite.....www.flex-a-lite.com

 

Visit a junkyard and look for fans on the hi-po 8-cylinder Fords.

 

After having my regular clutch fan fail, and burn a valve, I went the e-fan route. I made my own, with 2 16'' fans I bought on ebay for $50. Made my own mount, inside the stock shroud, and wired them to switches inside the cab.

Many elect to get the controller that will automatically engage them at a certain temp, which is a great option, but I wanted the ability to manually control it (since I am the only driver of my truck).

I did notice a little gain in power, and MPG, but nothing that was so great that I would recommend it to everyone.

If you have the $$$, the flex-a-lite is the best way to go for sure. But, if you are decently handy, you can make your own for well under $100!

 

i have the flex-a-lite dual electric fan setup with the thermostat; here are some pics of my setup.....and yes you DO NOT need the shroud anymore just modify brackets for the washer fluid and coolant bottles if you need more let me know

Notice the brackets for the plastic jugs?

How much is your time worth to build your own?
If it's free, I'd like to buy some from you because I don't have enough.

 

I saw that one as well when I bought mine and was thrown off by the Diesel part. Looks good though.

 

well, i just put in a mark8 fan and i love it....what part of it are you wanting help with?

 

I looked up that diesel one on ebay the other night. Jegs wants almost 550 bucks for that damn thing.

 

well they don't come cheap. mine wasn't as expensive but it ran a close 2nd but it's well worth it trust me. mine has already paid for itself in the fuel i've saved. I think the diesel one is more expensive because of it's frame.
