Re: electric dual fan swap issues

Why not run one from the stock style temp switch in the cylinder head and the second from an adjustable controller like above. Set one to run primary at lower temps and the second to come on at a higher.

Re: electric dual fan swap issues

Stock style is what i would like, you say temp sensor to the head? Ok im guessing that goes to a relay. Then to power. How does the stock style turn on at high temp?

Re: electric dual fan swap issues



the coolant temp sensor grounds the relay at the specified temps. hypertech makes lower turn on temp sensors. or gp sorensen.
