New Electric Fans and Transmission cooler

[GIJOE0916]

Looking for a solution to the Texas heat I installed two 12 inch electric fans and a transmission cooler.
I feels that I have a new truck! temperature is down to a mind blowing 41.5 degrees, and you can't even hear the fans running!!

Our long time friend here Explorer Tom did the same swap over last week or so, and reported the same great improvements. How long have you had yours installed? Any issues? What brands did you install? Our readers might care to know.

Sounds like the OP installed 2 electric pusher fans on the front and retained his mechanical clutch fan on the engine.

I replaced the mechanical fan with 2 electric puller fans.

Similar results, but different execution.

I haven't put a thermometer on my AC, but I do find myself actually turning down the fan. That's not something I would do before so it must be colder.

I'm going to add a pusher fan to my Explorer on the transmission cooler.

Here is a picture of the fans I purchased from amazon. The price is the most amazing thing! $31.99 for the set of 2!




MOSTPLUS Black Universal Electric Radiator Slim Fan Push/Pull 12V + Mounting Kit (12 Inch) Set of 2

I also bought:



Etopars™ 2 X 12V 30A Car Vehicle Motor Heavy Duty Relay Socket Plug 4Pin Fuse On/Off SPST Wire Metal

I tapped into the purple wire for the Air Conditioner (look at picture below)

GI Jo, I think your heading for a world of hurt with those made in China Fans. I hope I'm wrong, though rarely I am. A fan motor, and the supporting sensors need to be tip top shelf quality. You are new to the forum. Hate to see you, or your mechanic go through all the labor, and find out your overheating in that Texas heat. Just my 2 cents Sir.

I like the idea of adding electric pusher fans in front of your condenser while keeping your mechanical engine fan for use also...
Add a diode and manual switch for when towing also...

I appreciate your concern 1955moose, but as ogre20012001 stated I left my mechanical fan on. The electric fans are just an addition. I am my own mechanic. Working on this truck however labor intensive may be at times is my PTSD therapy. Look forward to the advice and wisdom on this forum on my future projects. Around February 2019 I will be searching for a 2006 or newer 4.6 Cobra engine to install in this truck. Any advice?

2006+ cobra engine? Last cobra made was the 04 terminator wasnt it? That was one hell of a sick car... still is!

No help on the 4.6 cobra, sorry. At the least, you'll need a computer and supporting wiring to hook up the sensors. I would think its a bolt in fit. Maybe one of our members has done the swap. You might want to poke around the mustang columns, and throw the question out to them also.
