i have seen some post's on here and ya im going to ask do you think electric fans are worth the investment for a daily driver i do little to no towing

 

You pick up a bit of power with e-fans, might get a touch better gas mileage.... sure cleans up the engine compartment though...... I would have a real hard time justifying one of those 500+ dollar bolt on fellers..... but, doing the home brew thing, with good fans, and intelligent wiring, yeah, I like that idea.

There are a BUNCH of threads about just this topic, search 'em out, lots of good reading material/options for you.

 

ya i am just un shure of the home brue wiring (hmm were does this go)

 

Fat power wire from batt post on PDC, to relay terminal. Fat wire from other terminal on relay to fan, fat wire from fan to ground.

Switched power wire to relay control circuit input, (so it doesn't run with the key off) wire from ground terminal of relay to temp switch, (they make cool adapaters to screw the switch into, I think some diesel site has them.) wire from either the temp switch, or, from the housing it screws in to, to ground. Quick and easy, and basically fool proof. No expensive control box to go bad. You could even install a second circuit so that the relay grounds when the a/c is on as well.

 

thats what i love about this site all i have to do is ask. thank you i am printing this right now

 

wiring is easy once you understand it. you can get electric fan relay kits that come with pretty much everything you need to wire up an electric fan and they are fairly cheap.

too bad the rads on the newer trucks are so small. i am pretty happy with how well my caravan dual electric fans work and they look like it came from the factory with them. you could maybe get the jeep recall fan part # CBG4F250. i have heard they work good and can be made fit in the stock shroud.

 

HeyYou is right about the HS 1.7 rockers= bang for the buck. That was the first thing I did to my stock 5.9 after reading about them here, very noticeable difference....then things snowballed from there....;-)

 

do you happen to have a kit part number handy?

 

That picture looks familiar Wolfie


OP heres a complete description of my extremely effective $100 4000+ cfm e-fan setup. Part number included. best prices for OEM parts at www.wermopar.com in my experience.

 

thanks i like that set up looks good
