Electric Fan Installion HELP!

[JohnRardin]

I just got finished replacing the entire cooling system and I have a universal Hayden efan that I wanna install tonight. I have the adjustable relay and it looks somewhat straight-forward butI just want to know what the experts think.

Any recommendations on how to wire this up? Everyone talks up the $40+ relays but the $17 one is adjustable, shouldn't I just be able to set it and not worry about it.

I know everyone says to stay with the clutch fan but I want to use this. Bad idea?

yes bad idea. it will cool better at idle depending on the e fan but thats about it. I would use something oem. And the wiring is CRITICAL. Think what your putting on the line here over a $20 difference. And anything that i would consider worthy of replacing the stock clutch fan is going to pull a current that the stock 80 amp alternator is going to hate.

On my old truck i used an oem dodge viper van. you can watch your shirt get pulled into the grill which is a good 2 feet in front of the radiator on low speed It was comparable to the mkVIII fans if not stronger... But was a $250 fan.

Dont cheap out on this, you will pay for it eventually

Good advice. I went ahead and put the stock fan back on until I can get a more certain course of action. I already have the fan so its hard to not wanna use it

Make it a pusher and put it on the front to help out.

Mechanical fan follows the KISS principal...

KISS?

id toss it on the front if you still have the ac system or on the right hand side of the radiator where the two small fans are at.
