I got busy this morning and afternoon installing this fan. First I tapped into a wire that was hot with key on.
Then found a nice spot to mount the adjustable fan controller.
The fan mated nicely to the oem shroud. I know its not a perfectly sealed fit but it should work well. It has 3 bolts with double nuts with an old sway bar link bushing sandwiched between the two shrouds to limit vibrations.
And my semi final wiring mess. I will clean things up a bit once I am certain everything works how I want it to.
This fan is an absolute beast. It pulls somewhere between 30 and 40 amps. I know this because it will blow a 30 amp fuse. I matched the wire gauge with what was on the fan already. And I manually ran the fan for about 5 minutes and the wires and relay didn't show any signs of warming up so I feel good about it. I noticed the truck warmed up significantly faster than I recalled before...but it was also almost 60 here today instead of 30s-40s.
