Default dccontrol fan controller

I got mine installed tonight, works great! It has a soft-start feature, so the massive hit to the electrical system when the fans turn on is no more. I should have done this a long time ago. It's cool to see the variable speed on the fans based on engine temp. Obviously I haven't had it in long enough for longevity testing, this summer should give me a pretty good indication. Other than that, it's money well spent IMO.

That soft-start is why those controllers are the ****! Plus they vary fan speed to maintaing the coolant temp. Its a cool method and from what I saw from other people using it.... It works very well.
