How beneficial are these E-fans.

I already noticed an increase in throttle response. Basically that engine driven fan puts a drag on the crank, because the crank is what spins it.

Not only that, but at engine idle, the crank-driven fan can't cool the vehicle OR the a/c as well because it can't spin as fast.

So those are benefits enough to me, plus I like having all that room in my engine bay freed up and the loud ass crank driven fan gone...mine was LOUD, Justin said it was the loudest he'd ever heard LOL

Hey boss, were the fans you bought OEM used ones or are they OEM fit new ones? Also, did you ever get the tranny cooler and fan yet, I'm about to order my fan!!

Dark green wire is hot when the key comes on. The light green is active when the ac is engaged. Made the same mistake. I only have one of mine working and my mine won't overheat using one. It was 98 here today. ???

Cool, how much are they and do you have to get two?

Ok after getting the pics from Justin and rechecking:

AC Compressor wire

, it looks like my compressor wiring is definitely a different color green again. I'm going to pull the connector out of the compressor and tap right off that so this issue is gone.​

PCM #42 PIN

I pulled the blue acrylic cover to make sure the #42 blue pin gets installed correctly inside that acrylic adapter. I checked and checked, and checked again that when the acrylic cover gets put back on, the pin does not move either up or down ...same as others. I also made sure the pin that the #42 PIN plugs over is not bent and neither are any of the other pins.

Also, if I turn the AC off...no fans EVER come on but the truck does NOT overheat.
​

I'm convinced that one of two things is happening:
1) these radiators are really efficient
2) my #42 PIN is not active

Ok so what's the deal with this harness? Aren't both fans supposed to come on individually for something, together for something, low for something and high for another?

Also, the green wire is supposed to go to the AC clutch wire...so when the clutch comes on the fan comes on, correct?

Are your fans used? Did you bend any of the PINs?

What you are encountering is the green A/C tap seeing power 100% of the time.

When the A/C tap is powered alone, you will have one fan on high.
When the PCM tap is grounded alone, you will have two fans on low.
When both taps are active, you will have both fans on high.

Sounds to me like the PCM tap is either not inserted properly or is in the wrong pin hole (hence only one fan is coming on). Did you remove the acryllic blue pin cover before pushing the pin through?

From what you're describing, the A/C tap is not matched up to the correct wire either. That single fan should kick on ONLY when the A/C compressor is active. Look for another very similar wire in the loom to tap into.

This is how it works...


A real easy way to test the fans, is to touch the green wire to power, and the blue to ground and that will turn both on high.

Fans are brand new, and no bent pins anywhere.

I'm gunna give it a shot again tomorrow, I'm really frustrated..when I started it admittedly I knew nothing bout what I was doing as you can tell by my posts, but I believe I do understand now.

Thanks for your continued support.
