taurus fans can draw 40+ amps at startup with some older used rotor lockup fans draw being more than 80 amps.

hope your wiring is up to par (10g minimum)

USE A CIRCUIT BREAKER!
(in comparison.. aftermarket el cheapo fans are around 6-10 amp draws)

good luck... dont cheap out or if you do.... at least have marshmellows on hand.

3.8 taurus fans are pullers also...

Some great information from all thank you so much or the words of wisdom. Lx66, will I need a new alternator as well? I'm not totaly positive how to identify gauge size of wires in my truck. I'm going to post up pictures of my engine bay by tonight so I can find out exactly what I'll be needing. So far sounds like a relay kit from an aftermarket source, maybe a new alt. and hopefully not new wires lol
