Dual electric fans

[Highpsi]

I thought I would post up a few photos of the dual fans I put in my K-10. You can easily install dual electric fans in your Chevy truck, I fabricated the upper and lower mounts very easily and the lower mount is bolted up to the frame, while the upper is bolted right to the existing upper rad support.

These fans can be found in a 3rd generation Camaro, with relay setup as well. Mine are wired up to cut on with a switch on the intake manifold, and also I have a rocker switch in the cab to turn them on even when the key is removed from the ignition. Handy for trail rides when the motor warms up hot and you want to shut down and get out and walk around.

Pretty nice set up on the duel fans. kool you got the wiring for it too great to have & hear you got. That make every thing easier.

D'oh! Thanks Pontiac1976, I read the write-up, but somehow it plumb eluded me. Really nice install by the way.

Very neat install, might be a dumb question but you dont need the original fan and shroud, Im laughing at myself asking this right now

Yea, don't even need the shroud (as of YET). If you put a shop rag up to the front grille, these suckers will hold it up there while running. It has great suction even without a shroud.

BUT... I wonder just how well it will do when I move back down south and see a 105 degree day and just idling around on a trail ride or something. As of now, she pulls the temp right back down when fans run so I am not going to worry about building a custom shroud just yet.

I am sure if I had to make a shroud, it would make this install significantly more complex. I would want to do it in thin gauge aluminum, so bare minimum that would mean lots of cutting and forming etc...
