Correct...I just checked, either fan pulls 15-16 amps at 100% (feels like a tornado with these things running!)

Can you post a bigger picture of the fans. It's hard to get an idea of what they look like. How loud are they at full tilt?

Cool, thanks. Now I can run these fans off the spal unit with a relay for the second fan. I'd rathar run the spal over the DCC controller. I don't want to push a temp probe into the fins of the radiator, your just asking for trouble in Ohio winters by doing that. The spal uses the coolant temp sensor that is already there so there is nothing that goes into the rad fins that can cause trouble down the road. I might even run two separate spal's, one for each fan and set them at different temps that way I will have soft start on both.

Right now these fans are $160 on www.carpartsestore.com
Just thought I'd share. I am seriosuly thinking of getting these with the DC. I have been kicking the idea od the Markviii for a while. I definately like the idea of NEW OEM parts.

GOOD FIND !!! Jump on that one !!! I hope they aren't on backorder for you. I didn't mind paying the $200, these things look very well worth the $$

Intimidator,

I copy and pasted the part number given earlier in this thread for the fans....
AL3Z-8C607-A

This site does not show pics. To anyone that knows, this the correct part for the 2010 F150 efans? Both of these parts are listed for the same price but no pics.
