Had one on my 2000. I removed it, and replaced the hose with one off a 2004 I had laying around - it was a bit longer. When I had the rear lines made, had them put metric connectors on the center portion so its compatible with the new hose.

 

+1 on the electric fan conversion, there is a sticky that has DIY direction/parts list somewhere on here.

 

No linkage anywhere on the rear axle so I must not have it. What was the purpose of it? I missed your post
Do you think it'll keep up with the towing? Saw a post on the Cummins forum that had very valid points on why not to do the conversion

 

It was extra proportioning for the rear brakes, based on squat. There was a bar going down to the bracket for the rear sway bar, that would act as an actuator for the valve at the end of the main rear brake line (right before going to the brake hose).

I think it'd keep up with towing, if you put two on and appropriate baffling so you pull the air through the rad - but I have not empirical data to prove it. The key to towing is keeping that transmission cool, and if you're towing really heavy stuff, I'd focus on getting a good large cooler and making sure you pull air through it.

 

I'll do more research on the e fans. What year taurus do I pull the fans from? Never seen it heard if they brake valve, which is weird

 

Here is a diagram of the rear valving. I will probably have need to replace the proportioning valve up front so I get the right pressure to the rear, but just haven't got around to it yet.

 

I've never been able to find one. If anyone knows of someone that has them, I would greatly appriciate it. I'd like to have one at some point, and if one can't be found, I maybe looking into about some custom work to fit one. Cant Imagine it would be too difficult with some welding and bracket fabs.

 

I always wondered what the deal was with that thing on the diff. Learn something every day.

 

I was referring to this DIY... you should be able to build your own housing out of aluminum, and the fans and controller are available, new, from everywhere.

I have two controllers already and have the shroud just need the fans. I be will give it a read.
