I got my 282's installed and wired up with my DCC (dccontrol) unit.

I mounted the DCC unit facing the firewall, under the fender brace, on the fuse box lower housing. The kit comes with plenty of parts, a healthy amount of wire, an enough for the temp probe to reach the other side of my 34" radiator from that location. Wire is 10G high quality large strand copper. I may have been missing a part from my kit (a fuseable link?), so I used the F-a-L 40A fuse. I'll report back about this later.

I have mine set to turn on at 194*F, because I'm running a stock thermostat for now. (the temp is set via jumpers, FYI). Once the preset temp is reached, it takes nothing more than 3-4V output at the terminals, for about five to ten seconds, to cool the motor. I'd estimate the fans are at 25% _at the most_. Probably more like 10%. It's hard to hear the fans in the engine bay, nevermind inside the truck. Very soft turn on.

When the AC comes on, the fans kick on at 50%. You can "notice" them running inside the truck. At my 600rpm idle (no UD pulley), I see a slight tug on the in dash volt-meter. Like one bar. If rmp's are over 1K or so, there is no noticeable drop. I didn't measure the voltage across the output terminals, but dccontrol.com says it's 8V.

 

Very nice! Where could I get a 40A fuse holder and fuse? No luck around here...

 

where did you get your dc controller?

cool im glad they worked out for you. im really liking mine.

 

Did you guys get the 35 or 60 amp model?

 

hey benkey i got the 60 amp one.they will tell you the 35 amp will work but i am takin no chances

 

I went to a car audio shop and they have em. They are used alot for that stuff. Just get a big beefy one and use a 40amp

 

What's the lowest temperature you can set it at ?

 

well i think mine has a setting for like 140. remember it goes on the opposite side of the radiater than the vsc pos.
