Yes, but this was cheaper. Plus i like being creative with wiring.
Thanks Rober for that info! Nelson performance sales that same product
You could have gotten the fans off of a newer Silverado like 06 or 07 !!
You can get brand new fans from Rockauto.com they are a bolt in fit and not from some other car. 05-up pickups and they have their own shrouds.
then you can get a wire harness from LS1fan.com
Man I don’t have a part number on them since I got them out of the junk yard. look in an early 90s GM fwd car. it is the fan that is mounted in an “X” bracket. I believe they’re used as a condensor fan on those cars but I’m not sure.
thanks for software info what fan did you get for what car can I get a part number or something so I can go look for some
This is a 2002 Chevy silverado 1500HD with a 6.0L. The hardware and software is HP Tuners, with the scanner part of the software running on the laptop
What year car and what scanner are you using
I bought a pair of aftermarket fans to install on my 04′ 2500HD, I want to rip out the mechanical fan to gain a little more hp and mpg…installing the fans is easy. As far as the electonics…I was thinking of runing: Ground from fan straight to the frame…than 12V+ from battery to a 200 degree sensor than from sensor to 12V fan lead. This was the fan would be controlled by the temp sensor however I like your way more. Can you explain a little more how you did the electrical?
Thanks!
hey man how do you do that by computer with the hptunes and all? and im thinking about just wiring mine when my trucks on so all the time basically

Do u have a transmission cooler and if so did u bypass the radiator
I can install the fans pretty easy but am confused on the wiring,.. weather to have them on all the time or have like a relay or automatic switch..any advice or video recommendations..i have a 2000 4.8 silverado
@Seantopps i am using hptuners to program the turn on and turn off switch points in the fan part of the tune. i was demonstrating the real time controls in this video
what programmer are you using to turn the fans on?
@calilondono, yes I actually went to work on the factory shroud with some aviation snips to cut for clearance. I installed both top and bottom shrouds back in. Looks factory and cools awesome! Mine overheated in hot day traffic, not sure about hills.
Did you install the shroud back again? I had to do than with my truck, because it worked fine in traffic jams but overheated when climbing hills.
*RPMs not toms lol
@mr03terminator: Neither just yet. I have only put about 200 miles on it mostly city driving to test how it does in stopped traffic in 98 degree weather. I guess it does wind up in toms a bit quicker, seems that way to me anyway. What I have definitely noticed is colder and constantly colder AC which is great!
nice so did u notice better gas milage or horsepower
