Got my tune today! Efans are pushing not pulling
the only problem i see is before i installed the efans i check the direction by connecting the black and blue leds to the battery. Black/Black Red/Blue direction was pulling. I have the Blackbear 2 pin harness.
dual 16 inch fans and wired them to the harness black to black and blue to red. The fans are pushing air and not pulling. I just didnt want to mess up my relays or harness and the question will it be ok to just switch the leads on the fans to reverse the flow?
It is a Wait4me Performance tune. Everything else looks good -no cats or egr-engine light!
Gonna wait few heat cycles before it goes WOT, because i did oil pan gasket-pain w/4wd.

Thanks
didnt really want reverse the blades b/c lifetime warrenty-want to be able to say i didnt touch them in case something happens.
Those with the black bear harness- although i think i saw some where on here the tune affects the fan controls as well. Other words both my fans come on when the ac
How many w/ ur ac?

To see how much current draw the fans have? I did some testing on mine before installing them using my Knight DVOM (its capable of carrying a 20 amp load) and in series (low) the fans pulled 10 amps on power up and 5 amps once they got spinning. In parallel (high) the fans individually pulled 20 amps on startup and 10 once spinning. Some together they would pull 40 amps on startup and 20 amps once spinning. I decided that was too much and wired mine for series operation only (I only have one PCM fan relay control on my 95) and it works great. No noise, plenty of air still even in the summer, and no real load added to the charging system.

I know. That was the point. Half the voltage, 1/4 the amps, half the air which was still way more then my worn out clutched fan moved.
