Not sure how you install them but I am trying to get the one's off of a LS1 camaro, how would I go about setting these up for my truck?

You'll need a fan controller like the VSC or that DC Control unit or get them run off the PCM. There's not really a "How-To" that I'm aware of.

The clutch + fan come off to the PASSANGER side of the truck. Like a reverse thread.

Aside from what I mentioned, just hook the wiring up properly (polairty on the fans)... I think the pin to the left is the Pos one (lookin down from the fans on the rad).

Also DO NOT hang the fans from the radiator or you'll spring a leak. Not cool. Shoot me your email addy and I'll send ya a few pics of how my fans are secured.

Alot of ls1 fans i see for sale on ebay and stuff, they don't show that it comes with the pigtail adapters to wire the fans. Aren't these neccesary? Are there ways to get around and not use he harness?
