Ill let the pix do the talking. V6 electric fan installed on hemi.












And removed all this crap.

 

v6 1500? looks like it installed nicely. how are you controlling it coming on and off? any information on cfm .. or if it will be able to keep the hemi cool?

 

Yup. From a v6 1500. It will come on full force at 195 degrees. I set that temp with my tuner. Normally it would kick on at 222. I also have a 180 stat as well. Truck runs 177-183 in the road and sitting idling Ilaa soon as it hits 195 the fan drops the temps fairly fast. Mpg and throttle response also improved. I'm up to 24 mpg hwy.

 

Cmerritt84 What Tuner can do you use?

Hey Cmerritt, did you run two relays so the fan will kick in based on the thermostat as well as an a/c relay if you turn your air conditioning on? Been trying to figure out if that's the way to go or not, that was how I wired up electric fans on my old F150 and while it was more work to do it it also made sure the truck wouldn't overheat either.

 

I didn't have to to any wiring. Its 100% plug and play. It comes on with ac a d when it reaches set temp to come on. No worries. Direct swap. No wiring required only tool you need is fan clutch removal tool and 13mm wrench to remove stock ac fan and fan shroud.

 

I hadn't heard of that before, so a stock electric fan from a v6 1500 will bolt on and plug right into the system for a 5.7 hemi?

Where does it plug into in the wiring system then? I was thinking the only way to do this was an aftermarket fan and wiring it up manually.

 

It replaces the electric ac fan too. So it uses the ac fan plug

 

Just wondering then, why replace the a/c fan that is already there? Couldn't we just remove the clutch fan and leave the a/c fan there, adjust the temps with a tuner and have the same affect?

Or maybe you were going for more visual appeal, engine bay of your truck looks pretty sweet, where did you get the cowl induction system?
