I'm sure you told us before,
But just for those that might wonder, were did you install the probe?

 

An e-fan is a fairly easy mod. Hell, the hardest part on my install was getting the old clutch fan off.
Im sure you have a friend or two with tool savy, cause that's about all it takes, and with a kit as opposed to the old pick 'n pull deal, it's doesn't take a whole lot of that either.

Just get you some help and pay attention - you got to start to learn how to mod your truck sometime...

 

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. Eric simplified it for me, I hate to bring it to a shop.

 

It's not really that difficult to do it just depends on what you want. I chose the SPAL for several reasons. One, because it could handle atleast the low speed of the taurus fan I picked. Spal has several things built in it that you should use for probably any efan install- a relay for obvious reasons and diodes that prevent damage from power spikes. Power spikes are probably more manageable with newer low amp fans though. Plus, the controller I picked will turn the fan on when I turn the A/C on. Having the fan on while running A/C keeps the A/C condenser that's mounted on the radiator running at optimum performance.

So decide if you want it to work with you're A/C or not. If no, there's other simple fan controllers like: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-31147/
Just note there's no relay with this kit. You'd need to buy one of those to finish this kit.

If you think sticking a probe through the radiator fins is easier than putting a thermostat in a water port but want a built in relay and for it to work with your A/C this one will work for you: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HDA-3654/

An efan would be a great way for you to get some auto experience. I'd say do it yourself and keep asking questions. Probably the most uneasy part is doing your own wiring. So take a look at a wiring diagram of a fan controller product and study it untill you think you understand it.

I think something that like the Hayden 3654 would be your best bet as it has everything you need. You just have to find which wires you will use and which ones you won't.

 

Really hammer? I used a giant monkey wrench and it came off in a few minutes... I woulda thought the wiring would be hardest for the kits with relays and all that like I got with the black magic 180. Looking forward to THAT nightmare.

 

I am also looking forward to this install mysef, some time this summer I will put it in.. Very nice write up in that other post studlyblueiz very detailed fine job.. Cya Slick

 

Its not bad as you think. Using Studly's writeup and some tips from Eric I installed mine without a lot of troubles. I started out with a Taurus fan and switched over to something that wasn't competing with my split second for power, lol.

My efan setup is
1. Proform 67016
2. Spal controller FAN-PMW
3. Sunpro Water Temp Gauge CP8217.

I have mounted the Proform into the old fan shroud and it fit great. Don't get intimidated by it, like Eric said, take it one step at a time.
