1 fan is on a thermo, the other operates completely by the switch. Rather than letting the first fan cycle on and off with the thermo you can just manually flip it on. You really only need to flip the switches if you have the A/C on or are in traffic. For any normal driving the fan on the thermo is enough, when the truck gets going 40 mph the fans should be off anyways

 

You could wire the second fan into a relay so that when you click on the a/c the fan comes on, or did i miss it that you have it wired that way already?

 

you can do it that way but you dont need the fan on the highway, and can actually damage the fan trying to run on highway speeds.

 

I SO wish I could spring the $$$ for an E-fan setup! Great write Pat!

Hopefully next summer, I can have some counteraction against this blistering North Texas heat!!

And don't worry, I will get you to help me out Pat!

 

Jeeze, we need a Florida version of patrick! I want e-fans so bad. Mainly for the accel improvement, secondly for the MPG, thirdly for the A/C. Sounds too good to be true. Has any V6's done this? Winder what kind of mpg numbers they're throwing out now..

 

pat,
im thinking about doing some over christmas along with underdrive pulleys. i have a few questions for you since you seem to understand this really well.
1)so do the fans not automatically turn on? i would definently forget to turn them on or off.
2)install wise, how hard? dads an electrical engineer so he would probly wire most or watch everything i do.

 

me n pat are working on making a kit that will just bolt on with little drilling and wiring know how needed on part of the installer.

 

I have the Troyer Performance PPI-EFK1604 Dual 16" Electric Fan Kit for 2004 & up Ford F-150.




Great Product!

 

do the fans turn on automatically? or do you have to press a button to do it manually?

 

The Troyer kit comes with switches that have temperature probes. You just have to set them to turn on at the temp that you want.

 

 

one of them comes on, on its own, and you could theroetically rig it up to where they both come on automatically, but i havent toyed with that yet

 

You could put a cutout on the switch to manually override it while cruising on the interstate

 

That is essentially the same thing as turning the fan off with a manual switch in the first place......

I might tinker with the full auto controls, but for now its no big deal to flick two switches on :o

 

so if i was to get the troyer kit. i would not ever have to worry about flipping switches?

and how do you know when to flip switches? just curiuos.
