Well, that didn't last long. Last night the fan must have caught part of the shroud, destroying the shroud and breaking a blade on the fan. Time to make an e-fan setup. Probably gonna get some universal thermostat controller from Summit and some e-fans off something in the junk yard that I can ghetto mount.

Couple issues with that. I don't want a thread-in probe and I'm probably going to use two fans, not one.

They've got some dual-fan controllers. I'll try and find the one I used on the Willys but it has a thread-in as well.

Just connect the fans directly to power. Key is on, fan is on.

I found one on there that's dual with a probe. I did lots of searching last night.

That's a terrible way to do it. Too much draw too much of the time, burns out the fans and your alternator. Also keeps the coolant too cool, prolongs warm-up, and is generally stupid.
