Since you guys are talking fans.....the one I picked up off ebay stinks...
I'm running too hot.
What b/m fan or other will work well on my 6er
Thanks

I've got a Derale 16759 adjustable temperature unit coming that has a built
in
A/C override circuit. Has a 30amp relay, so I figured that should be
sufficient. Picked it up from Summit for 40 bucks (part# DER-16759). Some
of
the 97-2004 Dakota guys and some of the Jeep guys are using the fan assembly
from a 90-95 3.8Lv6 Taurus from the pick-n-pull lots to replace the belt
driven
fan. I found it at Rockauto on one of their wholesaler closeout deals new
for
$42, so I figured what the heck. It's a 2 speed fan, but I'll just hook up
the
high speed as I don't feel like dinking with all the relays needed to use
the
low speed for AC and the high speed for cooling.
After I asked this question last night I was laying in bed thinking about it
and felt a bit stupid after I realized what people have told me on the list
today - I don't need a key on source for the main amp draw due to the relay.
Duh. Between this and the Hella 500 driving lamps I need to install I'm
going
to be in wiring heck for a while.
I just hate the clutch fan... I don't like the roar of it when I first start
the truck, I don't like the load on the water pump bearings, I don't like
the
hazard of working on a running engine with it spinning away, I don't like
the
load on the engine when the clutch is engaged, and I would really like to
have
better A/C at low speeds.
Thanks,
MattB

The battery and an ignition switch source. What fan controller do you
have?
