Where is the best place to get OEM electric fans? I need a pair for my 2003 Silverado. Also, is it best to get an electrically controlled thermostat or have it hooked to my computer via blackbear?

Thanks Jason

Trick performance (a site soponsor) sells some with a nice aluminum shroud. You also can sometimes find deals on eBay. Search for ls1 camaro and firebird fans. Those will fit. And get a harness from a sponsor like blackbear.

I lucked out and found the fans locally for $75, then figure $99 for the harness and it's a pretty good bang for the buck.

My truck stays at 190 pretty much no matter what. I guess it's trial and error as far as what to set the fan off/on temps to. Luckily I have my own HPTuners for that.
