electric fans
i just wanted to express how much i like the set of fans my buddy pulled from a crusher prototype bmw. i used the wiring circuit that vtblazer described a while back with a ballast resistor from an old points ign for the low speed setting and 2 relays. i sat in beverly hills traffic this last summer for a month or so at a crawl (25 miles in 90 minutes) approx. on some very hot days and it never moved from the thermostat regulated position unless i forgot to turn it on. as soon as i hit the toggle with the engine almost boiling over the needle drops immediately. if you have the chance i recommend a good set of electric fans. they save a lot of gas and my blazer is snappy. i have embarrassed many of the guys that prefer paying finance charges as opposed to building thier own toys. that truck surprises me most of the time

Re: electric fans
 glad it's working well for you, mine works equally as well when wheeling at slow speeds on hot days.

Re: electric fans
For anyone that does not know the dual fan setup from ls1 model camaro or firechicken fits our radiators nearly perfect and they are cheap when buying used.
