I know I should write a "how to" on this so i probably will. I used a stock 4.6L truck fan and some basic parts you can get at any parts store.
You will need:
1 small rubber grommet
5 different colors (if you like color coding your work like me) of heavy duty automotive wire / 10ft ea.
1 automotive accessory relay for heavy duty amperage.
1 thermostatic fan switch (sensor) with toggle switch (I used a 3 way on/off/auto)
5ft of rubber hose to relocate the overflow to passenger side.
2 small hose clamps
There are many ways to do this so i'll leave the details up to you UNLESS you want my specific part numbers then send me a PM.
The ending result is my temp is 20 degrees cooler (anywhere from 160-180). I can use it on the street in the AUTO position to stay cool, very cool even in traffic. Or I can turn it on the ON position for fully on (good for "HD hwy. use" and sitting in the lanes doing extra cooling in-between rounds at the track) And finally theres an OFF position I dont use yet but maybe it could be useful in freezing weather (dont know yet).
I picked up 2/10s at the track.
Better gas mileage
Saved $$ (there are kits for this that are more advanced but this works just as well).
The only drawback is the fans hunger for power. This is a big fan that covers the radiator almost 75%! So make sure your charging system isnt flawed or plagued with a low amp alternator.
