<SNIPED>Good info and ideas stirred up here!
<SNIPED> Myrecent research has turned up the figures of 2500 cfm at low
speed and 4000
cfm at high speed.
<SNIPED>Upgrading the alt to PDC and PDC to Batt cable is a good idea (6ga
up to 2 or 0ga)--you will be happy.

Yea All great info! Thanks guys. I did up the cables from the alt to PDC and
PDC to Batt to 2 or 0GA (can't remember at this time)and the ground wire
from BAT to truck before the fan went in. Using 8GA for the power and ground
wiring for the viper fan.

As far as the viper fan using power from the motor via the alt. Yea it does.
But less then the old stock clutch and ele. fan combined. Also take in the
fact the viper fan is OFF when not needed. Such as when the motor is cold
and trying to warm up. More so in the winter!!! Also at hi-way speeds, Don't
know about you guys but my engine compartment stays cleaner! Lots not forgot
the noise if that stock fan. Lots of more room to work on the front end of
the engine too.

I have updated my web page about my fan...
www.mallettservices.com/y2kota.com. The link is down on the left side. I
need to rebuild that home baddddd!
