save yourself some money and get the same fan from ford for about 150 bucks. then another 50 for the wiring kit from painless wiring. oh and dont forget an aftermarket waterpump of some sort...

 

spend money, save the f-bombs!!!

JDM kit is great. You can listen to and read all the post about you can buy the fan and make this and do that............hogwash.

Jim and his crew put the R&D to get this kit to be as smooth as possible. Looks absolutely factory and operates it as well. No regrets.

My only complaint is the quality of the temp sending unit......couldn't withstand the torque of my buddy's gorilla paws and the plastic housing snapped!!!! Be carefull when attaching the wire. Unfortunately JDM doesn't make the sensors so there's nothing they can do

 

HI!... I built a twin 16" fan kit myself using DERALE fans. This set up has two fans and if one fan should fail you still have the other fan for a back-up. The JDM kit uses one fan. If it fails your screwed! Plus the duel 16" fan set-up eliminates the huge stock fan shroud, which also makes working on your engine a ton easier. I have one fan hooked to a electronic thermo switch and the other fan is wired to a manual lighted rocker switch. Where I am our summers get up above the 100's and I never overheat. The rest of the year I only use one fan. I hav'nt had to use either fan since OCTOBER. MIKE TROYER sells almost the identical fan kit to the pics below. Give him a call. I have had this fan set-up for 4 years now with no problems at all.

You must live close to work ???

 

HI!... NO, actually I live quite a ways from work. Our weather here has been sub zero since late OCTOBER. Never go over 185 degree's currently.

 

I like the JDM kit a lot better. It keeps the factory look and you can't beat their products.

 

JDM electric fan is the best, IMHO

 

Neal,
Thats cold dude, I guess I'm getting old, I start mine waaaaaay before I leave the house, got to let the knocking clanking raping, and ticking go away before I can drive mine
PLUS IT'S TOASTY WARM WHEN I GET IN IT
Can't wait to hear how it sounds at 10,000 miles if it's like this now

BTW
You have got to have more mods than anyone I know, maybe even Vinnie and Killa, thats quite a Gallery you got, AWESOME TRUCK

 

HI!... ROB : Thanks! Actually I start my truck up and let it warm up about 20 minutes before I go to work. It only gets to about 150 degree's by then.

 

I built mine about 20000 miles ago and I love it. See
