Thumbs up My $5.00 fix

Ok guy's I have been searching for a answer to my fans running all the time when I'm on the road at speed with the AC on. We all know that these fans are expensive and burning up $300.00 worth of electric fans isn't going to be fun no matter when they go out, so I finally think I have it figured out. I ran out of time so I'm going to test drive it tomorrow after work and see.
I even came up with a little light to tell me if it's working are not. I don't know if I'll keep it in the truck are not we will see. Really depends on how bright it is when it's on.
Ok here is what I did:
I wired a micro switch into the AC on wire to the relay I added a few weeks ago. Like in the picture with the arm extended with a flap on it to catch the air and turn off the fans once it see's enough air flow. I have it mounted inside the grill. Hopefully it has enough wind when driving it to shut off. I bolted it in place and put my fan in the front of the truck and it shut off so I hope it works. Adjustments will be done by either making a bigger paddle are trimming the one on it now.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
