My aftermarket fan setup

[88Aries5sp]

Hi, I'd just thought I show my aftermarket fan setup for people who are interested in upgrading from the old 2 bladed fan that came in non-turbo dodges or need to repair a broken fan since that seems to be a common problem on a lot of older Chry. Co vehicles. With this setup you can basically use any aftermarket radiator fan as you please without worrying about overloading the stock fan circuit. I used a Derale thermostat/relay/proble kit from Ebay, I only payed $25.00. The fan I currently have works extremely well, as soon as it kicks on the needle jumps to the cool mark.

Features:
- Push in probe thermostat
- Activates turn on at 180'F and shuts off at 170'F.
- Will work on any 12 volt fan.
- Relay is 30/40 amp, heavy duty for fans that draw over 10 amps.
- Maximum capacity is 25 amps.
- A/C override circuit included.
- Designed for single and dual fan setups.
- I used an Aisin fan a friend gave me from most likely from a Japanese car.

30/40A relay and 25A fuse

You trust zip tie too much.

Nice yellow tubing. What's an Aisin fan? One from Aisi?

Lol thanks, Aisin is the namebrand, I've seen a lot of them on imports.

Maybe that's kind of like the Mitsuboshi (not a typo) timing belt I put on my 3.0L. What's next? Youropeein Porshas? Ditch flowers? Swass army knives?

Lol good one, kinda like Bandaid bandages, either way it sure does move some air and it was free.

I like the way you have the wires routed-- no drooping nonsense in that no-man's land between the engine and the rad. I hate that on mine; where'd you get the yellow wire wrapper? ( Did they have white? )

I'm sure the fan is a good one, but it looks to me like alot of the credit for that should be shared by the radiator. That radiator ain't no OE equipment, or else I got gypped!

I got the yellow wrapper from Autozone, and if you look closely at the last picture I have a little white loom at the end going towards the positive battery terminal. I'm not sure if they carry white loom since that came from my old desktop computer with a see through window to help tidy up the wires. I do remember it coming in blue, black, red, yellow, wouldn't hurt to check though. And yeah I replaced the radiator recently as well since the old one was leaking due to the crimps coming apart. That in itself probably helps as well.

Since we're talking about aftermarket fan...
