HeyYou! SOOOO DEMANDING :P JUST FOR YOU BUDDY!




· Get everything ready to assemble
· Put on both fans with attachment clips FIRST on to FLAT surface and make sure bolts with included washers and lock washers are TIGHT
· Screw on both drivers side and passengers side aluminum flares that hole engine coolant and windshield washer reservoirs
· Screw on SPAL v3 controller and relay for secondary fan as shown below in pictures




· Now you have to remove the old fan. I used a metal File in-between the two screws to hold the clutch while a friend unscrewed the fan assembly see below



· Now after its been removed get your new setup all ready to go move the two reservoir tanks to the sides put the new assembly in (just drop all wires down) and bolt in the four bolts. Re-attach the coolant tanks and your should look like below:




· A/C line gets attached to the positive side of the A/C plug, my switched ignition I ran into the front fuse box and attached onto my cigarette lighter. This is so when I turn the turn off everything turns off. Some people will attach to there battery so when they turn off the fan must get it below a set temp before the fans turned off. Really your choice if you want to hear the fan or not after vs quicker cool down.
· Follow the instructions for the controller Dual OEM fans. Only thing not completely explanatory is the Engine Temperature Sensor. In The Dodge ram it is right behind the thermostat housing. Long needle nose will be able to pull it out so you can hook onto it.
· Last is programming, I held PRG till it blinked amber then hit enter. If you hit enter 1 more time 160 degree thermostat 2 more times 180 3 more 195.You will see the fan light blink the number of the program and then hit PRG to exit.
· Viola! You now have an E-Fan! Thanks to SPAL and TCP Performance and HeyYou! for making this possible!
- Unpack box and make sure all equipment on packing list is included
- Sit out all of your necessary parts and check for damages
- If painting grind and clean all weld seams
- Hang and paint aluminum shroud (high heat and optional) – See Below

Oh damn, almost forgot, I agree, this needs to be in the DIY's.

Wow that looks like a good kit. Ive been looking around for a setup that holds both reservoirs and this one is the cleanest ive seen. Nice work!
