This was something i have been meaning to do for a long time! When i took off my fan shroud to work on the quad-alternator bracket (see previous recent videos for the build), i knew this was the time. So i made a few phone calls to find out my BEST option for this vehicle. This was it. So i did it. I'm loving it so far! Now with this out of the way i can start running wires from the alternators to the regulators and the big cables to the rear of the vehicle. Fun! Today i went live while we were doing this. I usually stream for a few every single day at the shop so if you like stuff like this or just random daily nonsense packed into tiny meaningless squares, follow my channel at instagram.com/meade916 - thanks for watching!
Damn! i am SO DUMB!!! i totally uploaded the RAW video and didn't even get the dude his props in the opening intro. I am re-uploading so if you see this video 2 times in my feed that is why! Damn!!! If you watched this twice then of course i can't thank you enough for that! :)
Brandon is a beast & one heck of a mechanic! Props to him for a Great job!!! I have eliminated every variable except the pins on my ecu on a 03 focus which i have rebuilt from top to bottom! Respect is deserved & equally earned when one see's quality workmanship, experience, & judgement! My hats off to Brandon for that fan install, ecu pin out, & a damb good job!!!
Steve, your comment about making the fan wrench on the laser is a really good idea. I’m sure your boy could use all kinds of specialized removal tools. Those kits aren’t cheap and they’re usually made from crap mild steel.
Sounds so good listening through my iPad and Bluetooth skull candy headphones. The difference between just listening with my phone and this set up, is amazing. Anyway, I bet the Tahoe runs cooler now, too. Good decision going with a professional.👍🏼
Nice work, been thinking of doing this for my dad, his fan clutch is sticking, I have the tools to do it the proper way but the aftermarket way would be a lot easier.
Did the same thing to my 03 Silverado. It will add a little hp and torque, I live in hot ass Tx and it keeps engine temp perfect. Good decision to install them.
Can brandon let us know what numbers to enter the pins at on the computer plug harness?? That would be awesome if he can, I am looking into e-fans on my 2004 suburban and want to do it the same way he did it.
We've been running our E-fan conversions with a Flex-A-Lite 31165 controller, that way we can dial in the temp settings(as cool as 165°). No knock but it's easier than that. But hey, to each his or her own. We can
we dialed in the temp settings the RIGHT way. Thru the computer. Im sure the aftermarket stuff works fine for you but this is still the best way to go.
I cut a rib off the 7 rib belt to make it a 6 rib. Probably .002 +/- ratio on my cut. I'm only human what can i say LOL! Belt is fine and not even noticeable in person... but if stared at on a YT video in 1080 @ 60fps, you can see it some. No big deal.
ya..i totally F'd up the last upload. It has no watermark and a few other missing elements. Sucks too because that video is getting a ton of views. Damn! this happens once every 100 vidoe's probably (i mess something up and don't see it till an hour after it's live LOL).
DOING THIS CONVERSION WILL HELP THE A/C BLOWING MORE COLD BECAUSE MY A/C WORKS LIKE 💩 AND I JUST REPLACE ALL THE A/C SYSTEM AND STILL NOT BLOWING ENOUGH COLD 😡😡 HELP PLACE

But he was your number one fan.... since day one haha
Crown vic fans work great on tahoes and they are super quiet..
Right on. This made me laugh given my comment on a previous video
💘 it 👏👏
Steve! What E-fan is that out of?
supporting specialized businesses is a win in my book. great vids as always.

meade916 i wondered lol
Done.
I dont mind watchin it twice lol, maybe that smart ass wont chime in again with his fish 😂😂
Lol thumbs up twice too bro dont trip
Boy was on point! No need to touch a thing with him around....

I used the same fans to retrofit my 98 Suburban. I bought it all new from Dorman. Been running strong for 5 years now.
Engine Masters did an engine dyno test a couple years ago and ditching the engine driven clutch fan freed up something like 25-30 hp.
Good idea when running 4 extra alternators
4 Alternators gonna rob more power that clutch fan.... 😆
Mr Goldback That goes without saying. Another great reason to go ditch the power clutch fan and run electric.
Damn I wish I was in Sacramento...I need to get mine done. He did that shit relatively easy and fast.
that was sweet guy knew the factory stye way too get her purring,perfection is a art form too be querious about!great work and nice ride
I did mine years ago with grand prix fans. Still working but I love how he put them to the pcm. I have a control box for mine

This truck is an '01. Pin 33 (Red) is already in use on Blue/Red ECMs. What pin did he put the green wire to?
I’m wanting to do this as well, I was wondering what he was setting up in the computer with the scanner??
Just imagine what would come out if thelifeofprice, meade and exo collaborated and made a hell of a ride.
Considering jp doesnt do his builds and just writes a check it would be alot of work for meade and exo.
Not to mention EXO (God love him!!) Would cobble it!!!
I love watching someone who knows their $hit. Just like it was meant to be. Beautiful.
Dude knows his shit for sure
That cleaned it up a shit ton!!! Good call on goin electric man, the time has come.
New build coming out sick brother. Looking awesome as always
Where do I get a green belt like that. Is it stronger like the green hoses the cop car caprice had in 90s
Gates hd belt
That guy is amazing!
God Bless America
Always a pleasure seeing that beast of a taho, greetings from Mexico!
thanks Leo!
SWEET LOVE YOUR WORK BRANDON
I wonder what the smd vm1 is reading when the truck is running
That was dope how he did that. I can’t wait to see the finish product I’m sure that shit gonna be hardddddd! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
nice!!!! I see some spools of wire 👀 .... can't wait for a update
More space, less drag, more cooling: Things that happen to people after losing their trifling ex girlfriends. 😂🤣
Hang old fan on wall or sign it and give away u have so many fans get it that would like it and has watched the build of the Tahoe
The grind don’t stop
Very nice , also Steve show us some of Brandon's cars

Hook that man up with a system!!!

good job smd impress me your works always clean and with aesthetics greetings from mexico
I know I know, but what’s gonna happen to the performance with that big of a belt.
nothing. It isn't a race car. It's an SUV.
meade916 for some reason I thought it was supercharged.
@@dooner777 not sure how you thought that considering there isn't a supercharger anywhere in this video SMH LMAO...bro...
meade916 because I follow your channel and for a moment I got it confused with the Escalade.
@@dooner777 the Escalade doesn't have a supercharger either....
I have a 2001 Tahoe that I put Flex-A-Lite dual fan kit
sorry about that.
@@meade916 lol
Time to regain that power
Hey steve would ever cam your Tahoe & get performance parts for it .
If I set up an appointment can yall do the same for me?
Is the power source connected in the factory position? Notice any performance or MPG difference with the swap?
Super dope. I'm definitely doing this
Do the fans bolt right up to the radiator or u have to make brackets with the swap
They bolt right up. Some of the SUV’s will need the bigger radiator swapped in though
they bolt up but you need longer bolts than stock.
@@meade916 thanks for the reply
My mans got 4 Turbos!
Those alts looking sick as
Not 100% sure, but i thought i saw a little belt wiggle or pully bounce a little bit, could be wrong but thaught id point it out
I cut a rib off the 7 rib belt to make it a 6 rib. Probably .002 +/- ratio on my cut. I'm only human what can i say LOL! Belt is fine and not even noticeable in person... but if stared at on a YT video in 1080 @ 60fps, you can see it some. No big deal.
Ughh I fucking love tools I need that crimper but I don’t need that crimper if that makes sense lol
Makes sense cause im in the same boat🤦🏾♂️
looking good bro hard work pays
off
i need that done to my escalade
Nice and clean install
Whats the song name from the intro?
What’s the benefit of the electric fans? They eat up to 30 amps.
Dont run when not needed. So lets say driving at 45mph without A/C on. Also on low speed they dont do 30 amps, more like 10 amps.
Plus they don't rely on engine speed
@@ivanrlynn right
Been waiting on a upload.
Big time doin work ☝❤🚘🔊
Nice an clean 👍🏻
Good stuff SMD!!
What's up the speakers and the amp winner!
what do you mean whats up? gotta pay attention
That computer threw me off
Put a nut where that fan came from to keep the wheel on 👌
Not needed. All the water pumps are the same clutch or efan. Hub is pressed on.
lmao!!
🤦🏾♂️
That’s really nice 👍
WHATS THE INTRO SONG CALLED????
Sam Many phyc morrison.
Lol.. Is all good.. I can watch again..
Whats his contact info
It's in the intro of the video 👀
Huh re-upload?
