Overheating Issues, Perplexed

[undy]

I bench ran the fan on both speeds a few minutes ago. I made some 8 gauge patch cables for the test. Holy cow, that sucker moves some air on high speed. In fact, to say quite a bit more that the unit I'm currently running would be an understatement. I would think that after installing this unit your heat issues will be a thing of the past. Is your alternator up to the task, idle amps specifically? You'll need a good stout 55 amps or so at idle to keep everything running, including the hi-speed fan.

I've been thinking some more on the fan wiring. Here's my plan... I'm going to install a two position toggle switch on the dash, hi-speed & low-speed. With a flip of the switch I'll be able to choose which speed will cycle via my Painless fan thermostat, hi speed for those scorcher days and lo speed for the rest. In addition I'll run another 3 position toggle switch which will be a manual on for the fan, on-hi, off, 0n-low. I think I'm going to build my own relay pac. I'll use heavier duty relays than the Hollister unit does. I'll mount it all to a piece of 0.090" aluminum, probably with a decorative cover too.

I might have to put this conversion on a faster track..
