Hey guys,

I have all the major parts (fan, controller) for my e-fan install I intend to do tomorrow, I'm just looking for an idea of some other parts I might need such as screws, nuts, bolts, misc. tools and I'm looking to see if anyone has pics of their e-fan install just so I can get an idea of how it's supposed to look. It's probably not that hard of a DIY but I'm trying to make sure I have everything before I get halfway through and find out I am missing something.

 

Are you using a kit, or gathered-up parts? It is an easy install, but the right tools are a must. I don't remember needing anything "special" except the spanner to get the mechanical fan off - that was a PITA!!!

 

Spanner was the only thing I didn't get. I just got back from Lowes and got all the bolts, nuts, washers, wiring stuff. I just forgot the spanner wrench.

 

It isn't necessary, but it can turn a major aggravation into a piece of cake. Removing the old fan is the hardest part.

 

I'm having a really hard time picturing this thing and I'm not able to find it on Lowes or Advance Autos websites. Does someone have a picture so I can reference?

 

i dunno bout you but im making mine easy thanks to af_hemi and suggesting these....http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...|GRP2061A____#

 

You use that as opposed to making all the mounting brackets? If so I'm going to drive up the road and buy that kit.

Also, which wires are what on the taurus fan? There's a black one, brown/yellow, and brown/orange. I've been trying to figure out the ground wire and low speed wire before I hook it all up.

 

yes im gonna use them smknram offroads with his mounted like it and hasn't broke one yet...i know the solid is ground...but which is which for hi-low i cant remember just hook a wire to it and touch the batt for just a second and see which is which you'll be able to tell trust me... im gonna have to do the same i cant remember, i had it checked before i left the junkyard ....

 

On the fan:

The black wire is ground

The brown wire with a yellow stripe is the high speed

The brown wire with an orange stripe is the low speed
