Which efans to use
I have two taurus fans mounted on my radiator. Only one is connected though because I kept burning the relay. Try and find them with the three wires coming out of them. One of mine just has two wires, but the third is the low speed for the fan. With them both on high, it was way to much draw. Oh and I have them just wired to a switch that I turn on when I get in my truck. $40 for the fans from a junkyard, $35 for the relay and switch, $10 for 12 gauge wiring. Only into it for $85 and can feel a big difference!
Ive been looking for literally hours, Theres a guy on another forum with a factory 5.4 but swapped a lightning SC on it with these fans and they work perfect. and on here Pity7700 has them and say they work perfect aswell. So right now I think Im gonna get the Windstar fans with a DC controller and indicator light, and Im looking into a single A-pillar pod with a water temp gauge and I'll put the indicator light there as well... but still looking into them
Sounds good man. I would def. use the water temp gauge and indiciator. The factory dummy gauge's can get you in trouble! Good to see someone taking every precaution and doing it right!
Let us know when you decided and def. show some pics.

I'm not really second guessing myself, just trying to figure out the best and most cost efficient route to go. Researching reviews and how to's and specs and everything I can find. I like to be completely sure of something before I start buying parts

No idea, probably around 2 hours, but if your like me and have to have everything perfect and factory looking then probably double that time

Ok so heres what Im lookin at..
Windstar fans - $100
DC Controller w/ indicator - $115
Single gauge pillar pod - $25
Water Temp gauge - $60-100
Then of course I have to paint the pod and wire everything which may be a few more dollars here and there
