i just put ls1 fans on my truck this mourning and i got a few questions

I wired them to a manual switch until i can order the Fan controlling kit next week.

i drove about 5-7 miles kinda hard with the fans off in 55* weather stopped at a few lights also and it never got over 210 stayed right around there.

now on the way back with the same driving and had the fans on the whole time the temp didnt really drop below 205-200..

this normal with stock thermo?
i have them pulling the air away from the Radiator pushing the air towards the motor.

 

btw i have them pretty well centered in the radiator so its mounted fine.

 

btw again heh...

i mounted them with connectors down so not upside down.
i zip tied them up on the top and slide the bottom piece under the radiator where it kinda wedged it in there
sound good?

 

Make sure that the fans are bot running in the right direction. I wired mine up ant one was pulling and one was pushing. Just swapped the wires and it was fixed.

 

i thinks its fine, thats where mine sits

 

thats where mine sits and i still have the clutch fan

 

With a stock thermostat that sounds about right.

 

you guys have yours set up as pullers?

 

it sits behind the radiator where the clutch fan was and pulls the air from the front of the radiator to the back. it'll over heat if you have it pushing against the way the air would naturally flow past it while the vehicle is on motion

 

yea i drove about 35 mins home last night from college and didnt have to turn them on at all... weird...btw when i do put them on the temp really doesnt drop.. but they are for sure working moving lots and lots of air
