Scootyboy, this is an awesome post! Did this setup cool your Suburban well? I have the blacbear harness Im putting on my 'O2 2500HD 6.0L. I was told by the guy doing my tune that I need to figure out how to get my fans to kick on high instead of low when both fans come on. First of all is this necessary? I don't know why blackbear would make a harness that wont turn the fans on correctly. They get a lot of good reviews so I dont see the prob. If its necessary what do I need to do to the harness to fix the issue? His suggestion is making me hold up on the install until I have a good resolution. Thanks for any help and again great post.

Now the low speed fan trigger needs to be connected to the PCM.
And one more thing, if your truck has the 105 amp alternator, I strongly suggest that you upgrade to the 130 amp or 145 amp version. I have the 130 amp one in mine, and I am noticing my volts guage drop from 14 down to 12 or 13 when both fans are on and I am idling. The volts will increase if I rev the engine though. I am planning on upgrading my alternator when I get more funds. I have since upgraded he stock alternator wire. Got rid of the stock 8 guage wire and installed a 2 guage wire, which does help with the voltage drop some.

I just switched to the 34" radiator and got the 05 e fans and factory harness. I'm going to try to install exactly like this thread. Which relay did you use? Thanks.

this is exactly what i was looking for... awesome write up and thanks for the info...maybe im just an idiot but i heard that you had to get the computer programmed to trigger the fans...i have a 2002 and can get my hands on a few different scan tools and if it does have to be programmed id like to know if i would have to send it out or if i could do it with a scan tool
