I read many of the posts on the electric fan conversion. I am wondering where you put the temperature sensor that activates the fan. I found that e-fan conversions are popular with early Mustangs. At least one guy over there found a replacment thermostat neck with pie plug you can use for a temp sensor. This would seem to be the best spot for it. Anything like that exist for dodge trucks? (Maybe there is already a plug in the housing ? I havnt torn it down yet). I am going in to replace my Tstate with a 180 degree unit next week and if that kind of thing is available it would be the perfect time to set it up.

Second question is about fan size / cooling capacity - Ive read that some guys here are using dual 16" fans. Is there a consensus about how much fan is required? I was looking at the 18" Lincoln fan - just not sure if its big enough. I live in CT so we dont get baked like AZ, TX or FL, but it does get hot on occasion.

i know that my 2 12 inch fans barely keep it cool so i will be changing them out for the daul fan setup off of a ford windstar...as far as the thermostat...any auto parts store has a electronic control with a probe that senses the temp and allows you to judge when to turn it on.
