    Enjoy watching these videos keep it up. Hopping one day I’ll get time to do mine. One thing I’d recommend it’s a little better then the crimp and heat shrink. They make heat shrink with solder in the center. That melts with the heat to shrink it. Just a bit better of a connection is all. But enjoying the progress!!

    Go electric for the fan you can do like I did on my old 4runner where I installed a electric fan with a switch that let me have it in 3 positions on off and auto. Obviously left in in auto most of the time but if I was sitting alot or slow crawling just have it run full time and shut it off if going thru high watter.

  • @zcronley

    Ditch the clutch fan, run a nice electric fan that’s made for your trucks radiator. The shroud should come with a fan kit so all you need to do is install it and wire it up.

    Viscous fan is far superior to the electric fan.
    I am changing all my electric fans to viscous.
    Less strain on electric system.
    Viscous is a lot more reliable and a much longer service life.
    Viscous moves a lot more air when needed.
    With my 1uz-fe, I went for electric but in the dunes it falls flat on its face.
    While the others are enjoying themselves, I have to give it some time to cool regularly.
    Since I went back to viscous, no more hot running issues at all and the power loss is so minimal, I di not notice it. I would rather sacrifice a little bit of fuel consumption and HP than to be stranded or to pull a blown motor.
    Waiting on parts to convert my isf2.8 to viscous.
    With the hot temps here the upgraded electric fan has a hard time keeping up.
    Some viscous fans are serviceable.
    You can add or remove the silicon oil, put thicker or thinner to change the characteristics of the fan.
    How soon it locks up and how aggressive it locks.
    Great video by the way.

      Dumb question and you might have covered this in another video but when you swap from gas to a diesel do you have to convert fuel tank and pump along with ecm& Tcm?

  • @Tanner731
    @Tanner731 3 роки тому +1

    you aren't going to notice the couple horsepower you lose on the mechanical fan. add in an e fan that comes on when the ac is on and by thermostat when it reaches a certain temp. might be easier to put one large e fan infront of the ac condenser

  • @Motohead10
    @Motohead10 3 роки тому +1

    Ditch the fan. You really only need a fan for the AC. I have over 100k miles on my ALH swap and use the stock Dakota AC electric fan only. I have a adjustable temp probe reading the radiator outlet temp wired in parallel with the stock fan relay. It never kicks on unless Im coming off the hwy and its 95F+ ambient and I get stuck at a red light on the off ramp. Even then it kicks on for 20 seconds?

  • @tomswindler64
    @tomswindler64 3 роки тому +1

    Running mechanical fan should not use any power worth noting,and building a fan shroud with electric fan ,puller or pusher would make sense,just to appease your other worries.😎😎😎👍👍👍

  • @peterhasendonckx6314
    @peterhasendonckx6314 3 роки тому +1

    So far you did an awesome job on the TDI swap, but watching today's episode, it hurts my eyes to see you crimping cable terminals in the vise!!!! I know it is done a lot, but it's really bad practice! By pushing the terminal to an oval, you create voids between the terminal and the cable, which results in a bad connection over time. A decent crimping tool isn't expensive any more and really contributes to a quality job. About the cooling, I would also keep the visco fan and add a electric fan to the side as you planned. Making a decend schroud is very inportant. Maybe look for a bigger visco fan? This looks rather small...

  • @larrybrownlee9255
    @larrybrownlee9255 3 роки тому +2

    Looking good! I think you should use an electric fan. They cool better and will be a lot less work to set up in the long run. I used a Crown Vic fan in the Toyota shroud on mine.
