I got in on the Jusnes group buy, the fans are great the A/C blows very cold!, I drove 80 miles to a friends house and I got 19.7MPG @ 70 with the A/C on so I can say I am loveing the E-fans!
Sounds Great, I just missed out on that group buy, now I have to spend alot more
Glad to hear your happy with them, how was the install as I am lookin at the Jusnes kit as well as the Troyer one and I am wondering if the Troyer kit is worth the extra cash or if they are more or less the same.
From what I was told from Jusnes is the fans are the same as Troyers, check out my pics and then look on TP's site they look the same to me, the install was not to bad, I think the part that takes the longest is where to put the controlers, after that its all cake!
Thanks for the info!! what additional parts, if any, were needed to complete the install? On Jusnes web site it says that you may need additional parts /connectors or wire.
Do you like the controllers? are they protected from the elements?
Does the kit seem pretty heavy duty / durable?
Thanks Matt!!
I like your gallery, sweet truck! Oh, the fans look great too!!
I had to get a fan clutch removal kit, I had a lot of conectors, and If you want to add LED's to show that the fans are on thats all not in the kit, " the LED's and wire cost me 11 bucks" as for the controlers they look good to me I have them on the windshield washer reservoir, since the install I have been in heavy rain and I checked at a gas station and they were dry. I think you cant go wrong with either kit,
yeah i just installed my troyer fans...i think i got a bad controller since it started smoking after a week or so. called troyer and i am sending it back...other fan is working great...really like the kit even with the problem. once fixed it will kick a$$.

As for difference among all the offerings -well:
- They all blow/suck air (sometimes even more air than the stock fan LOL! - but not always).
- They all eliminate the parasitic loss of the stock mech fan.
- They all require robust wiring and exemplary installation practices to be reliable enough for daily driver use.
- They have varying controller types/quality.
- They have different mounting systems
- They vary widely in price
Do some more research - there is a pile of info on his site w.r.t e-fans....

wow nice post. thanks.
Just curious but what is the approx cfm of the stock fan? compared to the aftermarket setups?

Hi.
That, buddy is the question. Believe me, I've looked. I can't find one single consistently reliable solid figure, so I have only inferences to go on. Example: the TP kit and the MAD kit both run around ~5,000 cfm. Both keep the vehicle properly cooled in all conditions. So, the stock fan has to be at least that rating. I've heard it's even higher at high rpms - as much as 8,000 cfm. Hmmm.
A point I forgot - remember that at speeds above 40 mph or so ( and certainly at highway speeds), none of the fan assist is really required as the ambient flow is enough to satisfy all cooling needs. Stop & go or slow crawl is a different story, of course.
Based upon that, before you go to the dealer (saw your other post) check to see what your a/c cooling is like on the highway. If it's cold enough for you, then perhaps there is no problem except adequate airflow at low speeds & an efan setup will help.
FYI - remember as well, there have been some posts stating that the system (condenser/evap) is undersized for this application (no larger than the previous generation truck), but as in the case of the Supercrew, the vehicle is substantally larger in cab volume & window glass area. Allegedly the next gen will address this issue.
yeah I have taken a trip to cali 300mi each way. I was never cold from the A/C
I am beginning to think that it's either not charged properly or just undersized. and adding a fan to the condensor may be my only chance other than just dealing with it.
