I bought these last Jun and have been running them ever since with no problems. I made a shroud to put them in.

jayharrell · 03-08-2008, 06:14 PM

Wow. thats a damn good deal. How did you wire them? i've seen alot with 1 running all the time and the other on a temp switch.

Ole Blue 68 · 03-08-2008, 07:23 PM

Try Wes at Classic Heartbeat. Shifty will probably jump in here. He wrote a good post on the fan install.

Right now they are on a relay going to the key but I'm going to get a temp switch when I get my new engine. 20 deg cooler at idle now

jayharrell · 03-09-2008, 01:36 AM

Just ordered 2. Should get them monday. The local scrap yard wanted $30 for an old dodge van electric fan, for $45 i got 2 new ones. Great find. Thanks I'll get some pic of the fan shroad build when i get the fans.

jayharrell · 03-09-2008, 01:43 AM

Are you running one relay for both fans, or one each??

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-09-2008, 01:47 AM

We have a realy sweet kit that I designed. I have installed them is several trucks as well as many here on the boards have them. Our kit comes with everything that you need. WES

Kind of showing off our radiator cover and radiator overflow system also...lol WES

jayharrell · 03-09-2008, 05:43 AM

Wes, those fender wells are making the rest of us look bad. Realy nice.

Does this system bolt into my current radiator or come with one?? Seems i should be putting holes in a non leaking radiator.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-09-2008, 05:56 AM

It mounts to your radiator. I can sell you a radiator also if you need one... lol Thank you for the complement on the fender wells. I had them powder coated gloss black along with the core support, battery tray assembly, both water bottle brackets, and corner braces for easy clean up. WES

cameeks · 03-09-2008, 01:00 PM

I'm just running them off of 1 relay. Together they only draw 24 amps at the most. Never had any problems with it. The good thing is that the fans cover the radiator completely.

cameeks · 03-09-2008, 01:01 PM

That shroud I made was a quick throw together job. I'm going to build a better one later.
