The DC controls controller is very good. Sorry the price went up, but it does include all of the wiring and temp probe....along with a junkyard fan it is still very reasonable....

im redoing my efans since i got a new radiator...

pat where did you get the switched ground from? is it ok to just run it to an ignition instead of the switched ground?

raptor ive got about $15 into my relays which are just that relays and relay harnesses(not needed but clean it up a lot, and easy to replace a relay if needed) ill get pics up soon, i need some shrink wrap....

edit, i know this question will come up the autozone part number for the controller pat uses(me too) is 733653

I got mine from Flex-A-Lite http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html/vehiclesearch.html heres the link to search for your specific vehicle. I believe mine are the 270's, e-fans give you great mid-range power, thats what I really noticed.

I put a Flex-A-Lite 'Black Magic' single fan on mine about 10 years ago. Has been working fine since, no problems. I think I paid about $180 from Summit. Install was a bit of a PITA, but worth it.

Truck is quieter at times the fan is not on, had a bit better fuel mileage. With the automatic tranny, I could not really feel any power difference, but there must be some as the stock fan is one heavy ****.

Time to revive the thread... few things:

I bought a Imperial Electric 30A variable-temp controller from AdvancedAuto. Question one, is the 30A PER FAN or 30A for both total?

Secondly, what is the minimum CFM draw for our engines? 1500 CFM? I'd like to run 2x 16". Are there any out there that will fit the stock mounting supports? Mounting is a big thing for me.
