Re: wanting to run dual electric fans on stock radiator

I am using a factory 4 core radiator and shroud. I modified a mid 90's firebird electric fan to fit inside it.

Re: wanting to run dual electric fans on stock radiator

I used dual 12" ProComp fans with a custom home made fiberglass shroud. I looked at the 14" fans but was concerned with the depth being too close to the assories and belts on the front of the motor.

Thumbs up Re: wanting to run dual electric fans on stock radiator

I'm running 2-14" fans, staggered, on a handmade shroud. Clearance was/is not a problem.

Re: wanting to run dual electric fans on stock radiator

I have a factory size aftermarket replacement 4-core, and I installed these fans:

You also need a thermostat kit to turn them on and off. I used dual t-stats so I could stage them. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performan...52125/10002/-1




Had to slightly modify the fan shroud, but all it took was a jigsaw.

Re: wanting to run dual electric fans on stock radiator

I've run a puller and a pusher dual elec fan set up.
All the wiring, and controls were separate to provide redundancy.

Re: wanting to run dual electric fans on stock radiator

Here is my 2003 jeep fan bolted in the shroud. Talk about a perfect fit and it fit nice in my wallet for 56bucks including shipping. Another 50 for the temp senser and relay kit.

That looks great! Is your truck a 72 1/2 ton?

I have the same one sitting in the garage waiting to go on my truck. The aftermarket fans have NOTHING on a good factory OEM fan. I ran a Taurus 2 speed fan on my S10 for 5 years and my 65 Mustang is about to get one as well. Let us know how it works!

I tried out the aftermarket fans and they simply can not pull the air an OEM fan can. I'm NOT saying that with the proper shroud and set up that they can't work, they just don't work as well as the OEM fans. *IF* they can, they're expensive as hell and you can pick up an OEM fan at a u pull for $30. If you sweet talk the lady behind the counter she'll even let you test it before you pay for it
