Thats cool man!!!! Main reason is cooler engine and a slight bump in performance along with easier to get to waterpump and all in future repairs. Wow!!!!

Thanks dude! I believe if I had a better fan setup or maybe a dual fan system, it would have been even more efficient. I ended up putting the OEM fan and shrouds back on because once I added a new condenser and external Trans fluid cooler, I was haven't overheating issues. I uploaded a video about the change. The overall concept is the same though. Thanks for watching!✊🏾✊🏾
Awesome video. I can't wait to listen to my exhaust instead of my fan constantly running uselessly.

Thanks Brian! I haven't had any issues whatsoever out of this fan kit. So far, not so much as a fuse has even blown. I need to upgrade the radiator on my truck and I also made a bone head move of reusing head bolts when I installed the vortec heads years ago which cause seeping here and there. Otherwise, the fan kit itself is flawless!

Good job.. one question i wanna know.. if you turn off your truck when the temperature is still high, does the fan stay on until it cools down??
@WorkingwithBobby

Thanks man! I have since removed this fan and installed the factory mechanical clutch fan but, to answer your question, it did not. I had the signal wire from the relay tied into key-on voltage. That means the really will not energize unless the key is on.

@DUKE-bc4ig I needed dual fans and the correct sized fan shroud. I was running warmer than I was comfortable with after I fixed my AC. I believe going electric fans is always beneficial when you do it right. I'm gonna install a bigger radiator and a dual fan setup with needed amount of cfm for proper cooling.

It's holding up really good. I haven't had to do anything to it since I installed the kit. I kind of would like to upgrade to a fan system that fits the size radiator that I have though. The 2005 Silverado dual fans fit the obs truck radiator?

Whats happening? I'm sorry man, I don't. I ordered the fan kit and shroud from Amazon. The fan kit came with the harness, sending unit and fan itself and the shroud was a separate order also from Amazon. I only remember that the fan shroud came from a online store called assault racing. If I look back into my history and find the order itself, I can share the link in this video description.

Thanks. It's not blowing at all now. I did not have enough fan cfm for radiator AND condenser so, too much pressure built up on the high side and blew out the seal let all the refrigerant out. I need to upgrade my cooling system before I can have AC again.

@@WorkingwithBobby so this fan set up isn’t cooling the condenser efficiently? I’m just wondering cause I’m switching to electric fans because of my AC not cooling well here in Texas. I have brand new compressor, confessor, accumulator, evaporator, hoses, etc but it can’t keep up with the heat.

@malcolmeatman-goode8201 it does not. I had no issue with cooling until I added the condenser and tried to put AC back on. That's why I feel I need to upgrade.
