You could do that or you could try it out first and order them later if needed. Another thing is to be sure to wire them so that they are running when the A/C is on.
I bought a mishimoto fan controller that has a sensor that goes into the block, I guess I'll drive it first and seeYou could do that or you could try it out first and order them later if needed. Another thing is to be sure to wire them so that they are running when the A/C is on.
Good lord. Maybe I should wire in a bypass switch in the truck for summer time running.The reason to have them on when AC is on is to keep air moving over the condenser while sitting still. If not, high head pressure results with failed compressor, blown hoses or vented Freon at the pressure relief. Medium duty and big rig trucks use a pressure switch to turn on fan when head pressure is high. Usually a trinary switch.
I'd like to see a write up on that if you get a chance!What I'm going to do is splice into the power wire at the compressor plug. I'll install a diode into that wire so that the compressor won't be turned on by the fans activating in non A/C weather.
Awesome, didn't know anyone already made one! Speaking of you, I was just trying to find a picture of your an valve covers installed do you have a picture of them installed?That will be sufficient once it’s studded and has the 6.9 headgaskets, I believe it’s led foot racing that makes an aluminum fan shroud for electric fans. Might be 2 14” or 12” fans in that setup
As usual I should have been more specific! Where do the valve covers vent to?You must be registered for see images attach
Alright, sounds good. I've got a new catch can laying around here, thanks manThey can be used as a road draft tube, I prefer to run them into a good quality catch can/oil separator like Moroso, with a single -12 feed into the suction side of the turbo out of the separator. It drops the gas temp down significantly coming into the intake, and reduces your oil consumption.
That's part of the reason I'm doing itI actually used to run my truck every winter with the fan removed. Made a measurable difference in urban MPGs due to a more efficient warmup cycle. The fan clutch always hangs on when it's cold and then gradually releases as it warms up. It's been so long that I worked the truck hard that I don't even know what it sounds like when it engages under high temperature. For this reason alone, I prefer some kind of electric control (electric fans or at least an electric actuated fan clutch).
