I'll be updating the thread as I get the parts and installing them.


I went with these parts:

Ford AL3Z-8C607-A fans.

Painless 30140 Controller.

Flex-A-Lite 32084 1-3/4" ID In-Line Radiator Hose Adapter.

Motorcraft WPT778 Electrical Connector.

 

Following.

 

A lot of cash for e-fans going that route.

 

What's your route that's cheaper? ..and as good?

 

What's arrived so far:

 

I haven't looked into Efans...but that seems like a **** ton of money. If you're hoping to pick up MPG and save money...with that much money..you probably won't ever see the return.

 

I'm not worried about cost. I think all together it's just over $575.

I considered the Flexalite 270 fans but I don't like their controller.

DCC is supposed to be the best but the guys business practises have been bitched about for YEARS on the forums.

The Ford Fan just works and I haven't read of a single problem with them when they were used or installed correctly.

Painless is the next best option for a controller and the fact that I've used their products for year makes me trust them. I also get more start stop control.

Buying new parts, I don't believe there is a better way to do this except maybe to use the Flexalite fan with the Painless controller. The parts are bought but I'm always open to suggestions.

 

Looking forward to the install.

 

My route i bought the dual fans that fit a 97 windstar and a controller from o'reilly auto for 70 with tax. A couple fitting to tee into the coolant sensor. I have probably 160 invested and they keep my truck at 192 towing a 3000 pound trailer. Interstate or city driving. I'm not knocking your setup, it's probably better than mine. But I did not have that kind of cash to throw at e-fans.

 

That sounds like a solid setup. I probably wouldn't have been so lucky if I had went a cheaper route. I can't count how many times I had to pay for something two or three times because I chose a cheaper route. Hopefully this gives me the best chance of not breaking.
