Default Which is the right e-fan to use....

I have a 5.3l with 60cc Patriot Heads and the ls1 fans that i have I don't think are doing the job. We're still getting a little warm under the hood sitting in traffic.

I also have a 34" Genesis Aluminum radiator, new water pump and stat.

Would the fans from a 2500 or 4x4 do the trick, and could I use the same wiring harness?

Thanks... Lisa

The factory truck fans will work. i think that the plugs might be different though. Otherwise you could use the same harness.
How are you liking that rad? Mine is still working really well.

Radiator is a great buy, and works like a charm.

Engine temp. I have an Aeroforce gauge and I have it set for the engine and trans. Trans is normally below 20-30 degrees from engine.

Last week I was sitting in traffic on the highway, and I hit 230 on the engine. That's a little high for me, and it was only in the high 70's that day.

And I have the 50/50 Dex-cool as well.

I would just go with factory duals. You dont need to have the one running full blast all the time when the A/C is on.

So what are the CFMs on the stock fans?
