Got my next project on deck

[MrJLR]

Received these this week

My aluminum radiator works awesome, but in stop and go traffic it gets pretty hot....and here in California it's been 100 degrees for a damn month!
I'm not running a fan shroud and this setup will fix all of that.

I did a lot of research on fan controllers and this one from The Auto Cool Guy seemed like it fit my bill....number one feature I like is it "soft starts" instead of coming on full blast right off the bat...

Should be a fun project. I'll use this thread for the install and report card!
I hope to get going on it next weekend or the next.

Looks good.

The control box looks as big as the fans

Can you update us on how this works? I'm in California too without a fan shroud.

Absolutely. ...I hoping I'll hold at 180 all day...

Well, I can't never leave well enough alone. ...now that my power steering pump is all worked out, I drove it a lot last weekend, I guess it's time to start another project!

Friday morning I'll get out to the garage and pull the radiator and start my electric fan install. ...!

I'm a gluten for punishment!

85 amps, that's a lot of power. Let us know how it works.

 

[MrJLR]

Absolutely. ..I will start a new thread after all - for peeps in the future who search for an electric fan install.....

85 amps at MAX.....this controller I got soft starts, and will seldom ever go to max power on both fans....

My alternator is rated at 85 amps....if it becomes an issue, I guess I'll upgrade.
