That looks money.



Question: On the e-fans, it only kicks on when you are at idle right? Or does it constantly run while driving? And does the whole stock shroud and rad fan run at idle only/neutral, or when driving? Sorry for the newbie questions, never really got around to asking them.

most e fans run on a temp switch. when the coolant hits a cirtian temp, the fan kicks on, no matter if its idleing or cruising.

If they use a Flex-a-lite Black Magic 150, there is a sensor that you simply slip between the fins on the radiator. When the sensor gets hot, the fan turns on. Also there is a wire that you tap into the AC clutch. When the AC is turned on, the fan comes on. If it is not a Flex-a-lite fan, electronic stores sell thermo switches cheap.
