Re: another cheap electric fan build!

ok heres an update for everyone, I just finished the wiring for the fan. I let the truck idle while i cleaned up, a good 15-20 minutes and the fan kicked on and off with the temps of the coolant switch I installed. I know if my truck idled that long with the mechanical fan it would have over heated. I havent driven it with the electric fan yet but the test will be tomorrow to and from work. The fan seems to pull an amazing amount of air (a lot more air then the maxima fans that i did on my longbed). After I was done cleaning up I let the fan run to see how long it took to cool off and to see if i needed to worry about it draining the battery. it ran for only 6 minutes and that was after sitting idle for 20 minutes. Sorry no pictures tonight, I will take some in the day light tomorrow and post them for everyone to see.

I hope this works out as good for everyone else that trys it as it has for me
