Yeah same ones ...they are great... haven't had any problems with them cooling . It took me the better part of the day to install them ...but I needed to clean up some wiring that I had been putting off for months.... I also used di-electric grease , shrink tubes and wire loom on everything under the hood. so that took a lot of time. I have been playing with the temp setting a little as I was pulling a camper for a week....so I wanted them to run all the time. I'm gonna be installing my 180 thermostat next week so I will have to match it up with that .

 

If I turn the controller all the way down they will come on automatically but if I turn it up a bit they will come on after it runs for a min or two. I've been trying to match it to operation temp...I do not believe you want your truck to run cold ..I have been told you want it to run as warm as possible without overheating....I try to set it to come on when my gauge is right in the middle. So they should not always just come on with the key .

 

Ive heard of people having problemes with the fans when the ac kicks on, they tend to pull to much power from the battery. Do you have any problemes like that

 

The thermostat in the engine stays closed and stops flow until the coolant reaches the temp on the T stat. The fans won't effect the temp lower than what the T stat allows.

 

I have no problems with the AC...because I removed it completely ...compressor and all....I also run 2 batteries as I like to have tunes when I'm in the bush sitting around a fire and havin a few wobbly pops. So I have a switch to disconnect one so if I forget and run one dead with tunes I can still start and charge them both.

 

Has anyone bought this setup off eBay? Seems high priced but looks like a good setup.

Would any milage increase cover the high cost?

 

Holy Smoke batman! 550 bucks?????

If you owned your truck for five to ten years, figuring 'average' mileage driven, it might pay for itself. Assuming it didn't require any more money sunk into it.

VERY nice system though.

I see alternating claims of shrouds being bad/good though.... some folks say their study says one thing, the next guy says his study says just the opposite. Both guys say they do radiators/cooling for a living. Whom do you believe?

 

SPAL are great fans, and thats actually a pretty good deal on them. I spent $250 on a single SPAL fan on my old IMCA Modified

 

I know it is a sweet setup but dang! Same guy has shroud for $160 and you add fans. But, how do you relocate the side tanks if you just add the fans? Are there any kits out there for that?

 

The one linked has provisions for mounting the tanks.
