- Hey guys, its time to remove the original mechanical fan and add an electric one. I upgraded alternators from its original 60 amp to 140amp which will allow more performance of the electrical fan, plus some other additional electrical components that I added.
This Fan Kit was purchased off of Amazon for $60 and comes with everything you see here in the video. The only two items that did not was the temperature sensor housing and sensor. The sensor that came in the package was too large at 3/8 and I need 1/4.
This has made a huge different not just cooling the truck but also the over all performance. No more parasitic power loss due to the mechanical fan. Yay!
This setup is nice because now if I was to be in traffic, a drive-thru, or see that the engine temperature is rising then once the sensor read 200 degree it will send a signal to the relay and kick on the fan. Even better when the truck is off the fans stay on until it cools down to 170 degrees then shuts off.
Get this kit, you wont be disappointed. Thanks for watching. - Авто та транспорт
How's that fan working in this heat presently?
Let’s just say that I’m so glad I went from a mechanical to auxiliary. Best decision made.
Did you buy a new water pump or simply unbolt the fan from it?
Stock water pump. The mechanical fan was removed for the electrical fan that’s now on the radiator.
did you say you wired your ignition wire to the solinoid
Yes, this way I have turn key power then fans kick on once temp reaches the amount of degrees in the sensor.
Hey man, what motor do you have in it?
Hope the vid helped. 351w from an 80’s Bronco.
Oh of course. I put the same fan on a little before I saw your vid. Just rebuilt a 390 but it over heats even with the fan on. What thermostat do you have in yours?
Nice. The 390 big blocks are great engines. The Thermostat I use is a 180. Sounds like possible stuck thermostat or water pump.
