Hello everyone,
I think I have developed a fan kit/wiring harness that would aleviate most of the problems encountered during the installation/operation of the electric fans most of us use. The majority of the problems seem to be melted fuse holders, damage to the trucks original wiring or electrical components low charing/dead battery conditions and difficulty in locating heavy duty components.
The main kit I have developed will accommodate the majority of the single fans we use,(of course dual fans can be accommodated as well) Flex-a-lite, Spal, Lincoln Mark VIII.
The kit is constructed using only 4 gauge wire for the wires that carry the heavy current loads of the fan. It also includes a large plastic disconnect(to faciliate removing the fan or radiator) heavy duty and compact professional looking components and of course soldered and sealed connections.
The main features of the kit includes a manual over-ride sw regardless of key position(to turn them on at the track etc..) automatic activation w/ AC and a 200* on /180* off T-stat.
The only bummer is the parts alone are $140. So depending on how one values the ease of install and overall benefits of the kit will determine its worth. The only other alternatives are the Flex-a-lite and Painless kits which are more of a universal kit. This kit would be specific to our trucks with proper lengths etc..
So thats the info. Any thoughts ideas,questions or suggestions appreciated.
