Yes sir I do. It needs the low speed side to get it rolling, or else it has more load on it so it draws more power.

sweet action! i can probably just hook the low side to my secondary fan power on my thermostat then right? they'd end up both coming on at the same time though wouldnt they? or would it fire the low side, then high?

As long as the low side is running, it should work fine

OK so its all done and hooked up. I adjusted it to where I want it but the truck barely gets hot now.. it sits at about the "o" in normal.
