A large puddle would put you in that situation!

How often does that beautiful paint come out once the salt hits the roads in the winter??

Hey Sparg u and the rest of the gang can kick me in the nuts now, but guess wat..! We're gonna have go another route... I knew I should have taken care of the hoe before puttin a down on the house... I hate being broke... But gonna have to either go with this "ppl have had success wiring in a Volvo 2speed setup to these fans and its MUCH cheaper then how I did it"

Or "The relay setup will also be much cheaper and you could buy it from Summit or Jegs"

$140 for the relay and $90 on that hose fitting... $230's a pita for me rite now... So I gotta cheap out... Sorry guys Monstar let u guys down...

#265

The way I see it is this, you can spend $300 engineering something to do what you want or you can spend $50 on a proven setup. All said and done when the temps climb fans kick on that's what's important. No one other then you will know how it all works. The $50 setup will cool as well as the more expensive so why not save the $250 and use that elsewhere??

I agree with Retorq - if $$ is tight, buy the Jegs/Summit setup and only activate one speed of that fan. Some guys choose to activate the High speed, but under normal driving, Low is more then enough and draws less power. I personally prefer screw in temp sensors that have coolant running over them, but guys on this forum have had success sticking a prong in the radiator fins.

Also, unless you have a 140amp alternator (Chevy's HD unit for OBS Tahoes) or greater, stick with wiring in LOW speed to lessen any voltage swings.

If you have someone local that can walk you through wiring in the Volvo 2sp setup, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, it may be a tough install...(no disrespect)

However, I highly disagree on the "proven" aspect of my setup. Most guys with Tahoe's don't use this setup b/c they're comfortable with one spd, but a lot of other groups do that have multi speed fans and want to utilize both speeds idependently of their computers. It's a bit more expensive, but I'm completely automated with no toggle switches and my fan responds in two ways to increasing temperature. I also run very accurate temps b/c my temp sensors have coolant running over them right after they leave the block. (i'm not being defensive, just outlining why i did it :) )

There's a few write-ups online...now go buy the other parts to support that relay :Plugged:

#268 (i'm guessing we hit 300 now that this Vovlo part was purchased....a bit more technical then a simply relay)

check this out...i didn't read it all the way so i can't vouch for accuracy, but this will get your started:
