You do not have plug wires - yer engine uses COPs (coil on plug)

Plugs - stock Motorcraft or Denso IT16's ==> https://www.f150online.com/forums/v8...park-plug.html

e-Fans ...lots of threads - use search - here's one: https://www.f150online.com/forums/to...ng-e-fans.html

good luck

I've read a lot about their controllers really sucking....and that there is really no reason to buy those particular fans from troyer as they are generic. I think I'll try and find someone with a more reliable custom setup for me to duplicate. I tow a lot in the summer and I can't afford "meltdowns" as I've read.

Very true statement. Not bashing Troyer or his stuff one little bit, but his fan scam has everyone snowed. The fans he uses in the kit are top shelf...Derale 16" Tornado S blade fans. They're great, but can be had for much cheaper from your local speed shop. Yes, the controllers suck and are almost always the root of every electrical problem people have had with his set up. Keep searching...many discussions on this topic.

Look up/ Search "Mark VIII E-Fan set up". Thats another one to consider, It's a good one and can be done fairly cheap with a little leg work.

Yup, the mark VIII is pretty darn good but getting harder to find. Might want to consider a Crown Vic fan also....they have a larger shroud than the Mark VIII so fabbing up a couple of brakets for a direct bolt on to the truck is a snap.
