Will changing out the thermostat to a lower temp racing one (like 180 degree) help without a tuner for the e fan swap on a ram hemi?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned or not but changing from mechanical to electric fan greatly reduces strain on the water pump bearings so that is another reason to change it.

Great insight James! 👍👍👍

Boosted thx for your earlier reply. I did the conversion. The fan fits perfectly. Problems I ran into: #1. Had to extend wire so plug would reach the fan. #2. 2015 and up to present PCMs on Rams are locked and have to be sent out to be unlocked before you can adjust the fan temp. The original preset temp for my truck comes on at 232 degrees if there is a malfunction with the manual clutch fan and your condenser fan needs to "Try" to cool off engine. Cooling fan will always stay on with A/C or defrost being on. Which is no problem for me because one is always on anyway. My gas mileage did improve on the highway 1 to 2 mpg. From 17-18 mpg to 20-21 mpg. Hope this helps someone. I appreciate all the videos. You do a good job.

I did this to me Dad's 1500 as well before he sold it. Here are the most frequently asked questions... From my point of View: 1. Save Gas / Fuel Economy = YES... 1-3 MPG 2. Engine Crank Smoother / Start Faster = YES, Easy too! 3. Limit Engine / Parts from Wear and Tear = YES 4. Cut down Engine Heat / Cooler Engine = YES 5. Get more out of the Alternator gain Amperage = YES, never seen over 14.5V 6. Gain more Horse Power = YES, Especially if Fan Seized... They said it's about 1-2HP to run Clutch Fan, but if Seized... It's 15-20HP and sound like an Air Plane, LOL !!! NOTE: You will NOT REGRET doing this !!!

Thank you for the info.....living in the mountains of Colorado I’ve been wanting to do the conversion and get rid of the clutch fan and get the more powerful electric cam fan.

Just finished my conversion in 2014 Ram. Old fan (nut) turned out to be the fan from hell. Made a spanner that wasn't strong enough, fabricated a new one in a fork configuration with stainless bolts for strength. Fastened handle to upper inner fender, used a 2' crescent wrench and 6' square tubing as cheater bar. Nut finally broke loose. Rest of install was textbook. It's winter here in CO so will look into a programmer later in spring to set fan turn on. Thank you for showing us this mod.

Added electric fans to my Silverado Very good addition

That little green "thing" on the plug is called a thermocouple. There is a set temp that when it reaches that temp it will close loop and turn the fan on. If you mount it in a location that has better access to engine temp (closer to the radiator) you will see a difference in when the fan turns on/off. The more remote of a location and the cooler it stays the less your fan will turn on. Just think of it like a thermostat in your house, if you put it in a closet it will only cool/heat the house when the temp in that closet goes above/below the set temp no matter if the rest of the house is 30 degrees or 120 degrees. So place it where you want it to read the proper temp so it comes on/off at the right time. Sticking it away from the engine or behind something will only cause the fan to turn on when the air in that area reaches the right temp.

xckrebel awesome thanks for that explanation! Any insight to how I could wire that up to work with the 2 wire harness coming from the truck? The harness on the fan side has 3 terminals from the older model but right now will only turn on from the PCM sending power to the fan. Would be nice to utilize the thermocouple like you said!

@Beardest_Fishing

6 жыл бұрын

Boosted2k What you're more than likely seeing is a 3 terminal fan being a ground and 2 hot wires. 1 hot wire powers the thermocouple and 1 power wire from the ECU as a failsafe if the thermocouple is frozen or non functional. First you need to figure out which your current power wire is, the constant hot (while the engine is running) or the hot from the ECU. You can do it with a test light or as simply as a hair dryer or heat gun. On a cold start take the heat gun and blow hot air on the thermocouple (not sure how hot hair dryers get but heat guns get HOT) if the fan turns on after a few seconds your power is coming from a constant hot, if the thermocouple gets very hot and no fan, it's coming from the ECU. I'd bet a weeks pay that your 2 wire plug from your truck is a ground and a hot from the ECU, as the stock fan you had was just supplemental to the clutch fan as a clutch fan is nothing more than a thermocouple allowing the clutch to spin freely when it's cold and lock up when it's hot. If this is the case then you only need to wire the 3rd unused pin on your trucks harness to a fused hot that only comes on with the ignition. The 2 sources of power to the fan you used is so the radiator can stay cool with 2 different sources of heat. The thermocouple will run the fan with high ambient temps (if it is hot under the hood) and the ECU will control inside engine temps if the ambient temps are very low (winter). I kinda over explained it but I wanted anybody who reads this in the future to understand without having to search for information elsewhere.

Yeah definitely! Thanks for the detailed explanation! I'll have to get around to playing with it one of these days. Nobody has seemed to figure out how to make the v6 3 wire fan work on the 2 wire HEMI harness and I don't have that truck to be able to throw a multimeter on it and find out. I also would be interested to know if the thermocouple engages a low speed fan setting that does not turn as fast/loud until the PCM kicks in its activated high speed circuit. Right now you have just a full ON?OFF situation. Would be nice to have a quieter low speed activated by the thermocouple. If I feed that circuit a full 12v I'm sure it would just come on full blast also...

Good idea on using the breaker bar with the socket adapter for the water pump pulley. I think I'm finally going to do this on my 09. After 95k. The A/C fan stopped working, so probably won't be long till the clutch fan goes.

The 3rd wire one the opposite side is probably coming into the resistor that you refered to as a " Box looking thingy" on the bottom of the plugs. That resistor is what is going to tell it to turn on and off and when and how much power and how fast the fan needs to spin to control the motor

are you going to do a video on the "thermal couple" "bi metallic click on" "resistor" from reading the comments not exactly sure what's the name of it and the proper installation of it but it looks like a nice mod

Without programming would it be a good idea to do the conversion and then get a 180 degree thermostat?

USE CAUTION - I suggest checking the AC pressures. If there is something missing in the conversion the fan will not turn on for the AC condenser and cause the high side pressure to go too high and damage the AC system. I learned this the hard way = blew out seals on 4 AC compressors after doing mods on a RAM 2500. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't figure out the problem and I only stumbled onto it by doing my own recharge and truck sitting idling, I witnessed high side pressure climb and fan not turning on.

Thank you for confirming this for me. One my old Ram (2006) I used to disconnect the A/C fan during winter because I didn't like hearing it run whenever I used the defroster. Once it got warm, and I used my A/C on the way home from work, I noticed it stopped blowing cold while I was stopped, then remembered I had the fan disconnected. I figured that couldn't be good for it and turned it off until I got home and reconnected the fan.

@royj8549

6 жыл бұрын

Good point, but since we're using the stock AC plug / fan circuit, its primary trigger is AC condense pressure, followed by coolant temp. That's why when you change the fan trigger using a programmer, you do it by altering AC + coolant temp, not coolant temp alone. So unless your PCM is shot (in which case there're bigger issues...), the e-fan will be triggered by condenser psi before coolant temp.

Once you get the cover off then you can remove the support/absorber then the metal bat is held in by 6 bolts 3 on each side.

The fan did not come on because the mechanical fan we still installed causing coolant temp and compressor discharge pressure to be running at the correct tem and pressure .

Counter clockwise facing the truck. I watched other videos saying its clockwise.... NO... its counterclockwise....and mine was tight. It took me making a tool that fit into the water pump pulley holes to break it loose. after that it was 10 minutes to do the mod. when your remove the stock fan shroud, don't bend or loose the retaining clips. you need them to secure the new electric fan. Also, the new electric fan comes with a mount for the long radiator hose that crosses in front of the engine. So, carefully remove the plastic hose support clamp in the middle of the stock fan shroud because you will need to reuse the clamp. On my RAM the electric connector was in the right place to connect to the new fan. Didn't have to move or extend wiring, or pull the thermostat or anything like that. Just plugged it in and off I went. This was a great MOD for me. Thanks Dude. This was a BIG HELP! Now off I go to replace the stupid exhaust manifold bolts that snap off in the engine. This should have been a recall. GRRRR. Update!!!! OK its been a year and a half since I did this MOD. Still going Strong! The temperature decrease hasnt changed or caused me any issues. Still loving that I changed out the fan! This really isnt one of those short sighted MODS that end up costing you in the long run. Thanks again guys for posting this.

Thanks for the support and feedback Mike! Yeah this is one of my favorite mods on these trucks and even just getting rid of that stupid roaring noise everytime you start the truck makes it worth it. A lot of skeptics and nay sayers surrounding this mod but its always from people who have never tried it 👍

Just one quick question. Did you have to use a tuner like he mentioned? to set to ideal temperature or just really install and go. I have a 2014 Ram Laramie Longhorn 4x4 5.7 v8. Thank you.

Where can I get this E fan?

Fan removal tip with just a wrench and dead blow hammer (I just did it on a my '17): 1- Nice squirt of PB blaster where nut meets pulley. Wait a few minutes. 2- Whatever wrench you use, make sure it is fitted so the shaft runs vertical to the ground 3- With a little bit of hand pull to the right (clockwise and don't he-man it), take a dead blow hammer and smack the bottom of the wrench. After a few hits, it will loosen. The tension of the drive belt keeps the pulley from moving. Again, don't he-man the wrench. Just some pressure to the right. Edit 04/22/24: See response below for other info.

Did you have to unlock your pcm to tune the fan temp or did you just plug n play the fan. I have an ‘18

@@samcasson4871 I did not change the thermostat so I did not unlock the PCM. I would have loved to change the temp that the fan came on but I wasn't going to pay for the PCM nonsense. FYI, the fan won't turn on until your engine hits about 220°. One last thing, I did notice a decrease of MPG for summer driving, not so much for winter driving. (I'm now in a '23 Limited so I don't have long term results for you)

What was your operating temp before and after

Can it be done on a 4.7 2012 cause mine the fan won’t turn on what can I do ??

Not looked at mine but was thinkin about doin it today..My 180 stat will be in tomorrow so anyone know the size of the nut that holds the fan on????

I tried installing a 2011 4.7 fan and it’s not turning on when it’s at 200 degrees I have a 17 ram 1500 hemi plz help

I have the 4.7L engine and my fan turns counterclockwise to remove. I realized this AFTER listening to the forums who were ADAMANT that it was clockwise. Weird.

The clutch fans are not that loose in Canada 🇨🇦 lots of the time you better have a torch ready seized solid most of the time. I use a flat bar with to bolts to hold the water pump

can i do this to my power wagon 6.4 hemi 2016 it has a clutch fan and its anoying

Is switching to electric fan louder than mechanical fan?

Will this work for a 2012 ram 2500 with a 5.7

Which fan settings did you change with the tuner? I have the intune tuner as well and it gives me "low mph hs fan" and "high mph hs fan" for my options.

I just left the stock DiabloSport tune settings which turn the fan on at 204* and turn it back off at 190*. My active grille shutters are still in and are programmed to keep the truck at around 203*. If I lower the fan temps without removing the shutters the fan will just be running 24/7 almost cause the grilles will stay shut when the truck is moving with my 180* thermostat.

Easy to change the thermostat to 190F factory come with 200 F thermostat. Also i use castro egde synthetic on my ram Will run 20 F cooler then mobil 1 synthetic.

Will this fan fit my 2012 ram 1500?

I would like to see when you do an upgrade performance the différences before and after on a track !?! Just too see how much IT worth

Hey Patrice I have other videos of track days before and after certain mods so be sure to check it out!

Yeah the temperature sending unit have to send a signal when it reaches a certain temperature I believe 180 190 Being a mechanic you can actually test it before you purchase it for a positive lead to one side and the negative to the other worst case scenario is it one is backwards just to test it if you’re doing plug-and-play it’s no big deal the hornist should be there obviously you’re using it .. Found this very interesting thank you

Thanks for that Ken! If you ever end up installing one of these let me know if you try to make use of that extra circuit. Right now I've just been letting the computer turn it on with the new setting on my tuner but would be nice to have a LOW speed setting instead of it just coming on 100% all the time. The update video to this with the grille shutters on my 2014 throws another element into the mix too. The shutters are closed most of the time on these trucks and rely on the constant spinning of the mechanical fan for cooling. I've noticed the fan having to come on driving down the highway because my grille shutters are staying closed and without the mechanical fan there is no airflow until the fan comes on or the shutters open up.

All fans have 2 sensors to tell them when to kick in. Engine coolant temp, and a/c pressure. Even at low temps, high a/c pressure will cause the fan to engage.

2019 Classic 5.7 hemi has both fans, elec and manual.

I have a 2020 classic and was told 2018 so I was wondering if anyone knows if I can do this still
