2010 Stock E-Fans Question
Hello,
I have a question about my two electric fans. I have never seen or heard both fans running at the same time. But one fan will run by itself if the A/C is on. And that's the only time I've seen either of them turn on, just one with A/C.
Is that normal? And when does the other fan turn on?
I just want to make sure of things before my warranty expires.
Thanks guys,
Justin

I'd worry less about yer fans, and far more about what the K&N is doing to yer engine. Yer almost certainly inducing a lean condition with no corrected tuning installed. No additonal power to be had as the stockerflows at least as much already, despite all the marketing BS in the world ( and K&N's is some of the worst) , Sorry.

The other fan will run when it's needed. Have you ever overheated? No? Then yer fans are working as designed.

Here's a VERY good read:

In short (okay, not so short, lol) - yer 2010 4.6 3V has a slot-style MAF. relocation of same is cause for concern. Yer truck is NOT immune to these effects, and ONLY a corrected tune or a return to the stock intake, or direct measurements to confirm/deny the presence of said effects, is going to be prudent.
I won't even mention what migrant filter oil can do to yer MAF. Or the filtration effectiveness ( as in lack thereof) of that element - after wiping out my intake tube and cleaning the crap off the MAF sensing element more times than I can count I just chitcanned the whole thang. If you had a tuner, with the capability (e,g SCT X3) you could monitor/datalog the efan Pids, coolant temps, etc, to ease yer mind that they are working as designed. Just another reason to own one, IMHO - a very valuable diagnostic tool indeed.
MY opinion only - okay?
Best of luck!

Intakes that do not require a tune are often just as restrictive as stock and do not result in large power gains.
