Cut out radiator and moved closer to the engine.
« on: May 01, 2011, 04:18:44 PM »
Today i decided to get rid of the stock fan and install an electric fan. I cut the radiator mount bracket, removed the fan and moved the radiator about 7" inches closer to the engine. I then installed an electric fan and it is set up as a  pusher. I also mocked up my grill shell, which will be on the front of the truck.

My electric fan was a pusher and it keep  blowing fuses. I fliped it to a puller and it hasn't had a problen since. It is a junkyard fan...
