In the midst of all that I don’t even know which one I bought. If my head wasn’t attached I’d probably walk off and leave it.

I do know the fan has only 2 wires. I tested it with a motorcycle battery and it spun up to speed in a hurry, at the same time the bare ground wire nearly burned through my finger. (Note to self, next time don’t use bailing wire.)

When I get back to the house I’ll look at the harness to see how many wires are designated for the fan. If my memory is right I just remember 1 blue wire for the fan, so if that’s the case would that be a signal wire?
I'm here to learn, and I don't know if the LT fans are 2-speed or variable. I was hoping you could tell me since you're on the cutting edge of C10 swaps here! I bet they're 2-speed though. I was looking at 2016 Camaro SS fans because that's what Mitch is using and it's also a single fan. He has constant power, ground, and a third wire that goes straight to the fan which is the control wire. No relays. Clean setup.
