Ramsey Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I prefer my stock fan. Mainly because my stock alt hated the extra juice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 +1000 if you have underdrive you need to upgrade to the 3g style alternator before you go electric fan or your lights and shit will go dim at idle when its on..... I have my fans wired so they run all the time with the key on becuse I was too cheap to get a temp switch ignition hot for a trigger on a 40 amp relay from a power distribution block then a 30 amp fuse then on to the fan its easy to do you can stop and look at mine sometime if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast91stang Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I have the proform fan with the temperature shit but i could not get it hooked up right to use that shit, so my runs constantly when the car is on also. Rob maybe I can get you to look at it? I keep forgetting to get the number off of those spark plugs, ill do it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93fox Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I bought the jegs electric fan the other week along with the relay kit. Wasnt hard at all to hook up. I have it hooked up so that when ever the key is "on" it will run, but not in "accessory" mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
