I have seen reference to a dual electric fan upgrade for trucks. I have a 2000 Sierra 5.3. Where do I get more info on the parts required and the how to steps to install it?

I have sum off a 99 SS on my 00' 5.3 chevy they work awesome even when i'm down in texas... Go to any junkyard and get them off ne 93 + Camaro or Firebird makesure u get all the wiring... Good luck...

Thanks for the info. One last question. Since the OEM is belt driven and the new is electric, how does it hook into the OEM wiring so it comes on automatically?

You use a relay kit. I ran the trip wire into the fuse box and stuck it in with the IGN E fuse. Also be sure to use a fuse on the power wire running to each fan and ground them to the cross member right below the crank pulley.

 

Thanks for the help. I am off to local yard in search for a fan.
