    No, im telling you it wont be. Again, watch the video it illustrates exactly how it works. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Functional electric fan conversion.

    For the record i really do appreciate the constructive criticism as your truck is a target i want it to work on. Soon ill have it on a stock system to see where it really stands. Fyi the other fans rarely operate and are def not contributing to cfm production. The cooling stack being divorced...

    You dont have to "do instagram" to watch the video. Its a direct link to each video and can be opened on your web browser. Your understanding of the coolant system is mostly correct. Think of the thermostat opening and exchanging the water in the engine with water from the radiator. Once that...

    You have to understand something. There is a lot more to how a coolant system works than just crunching numbers. For example: my thermostat open at 185 degrees, this does not mean the water will not heat up past that temperature. The radiator holds a lot more water than the engine can cycle at...

    Na its just one, i do have others but they rarely turn on. Each one on my oil coolers has its own thermostat. Don't worry I'm going to put a setup on a stock system for ya [emoji6] Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    No it wont run all the time. Scroll up and click on my links to my instagram and watch the videos. You can see how it functions for yourself [emoji8] Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    I completely agree cooling issues are from an unhealthy cooling system for the most part or a rig doing way more than it was ever designed to do. My truck actually does have a completely divorced cooling system. This is the main reason i am installing a few prototypes on factory trucks to be...

    I actually made a couple videos using a laser thermometer to do just as you stated showing the fan system operating. Following are two links to videos on my instagram @dirtyvee90 Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Your truck will operate between 200 and 210. The thermostat opens at 185 but it will continue to heat up. The fan itself operates on low at 180 and high kicks on at 200 degrees just like the hydraulic did. Essentially your getting the same operation as the hydraulic just without the parasitic...

    Yep, the greatest thing about this setup is it pulls air when it needs it no matter the rpm. The hydraulic requires high rpm to produce the cfm numbers everyone is so proud of. The electric recognizes when it is needed and engages regardless of rpm it pulls the same amount of air whatever stage...

    You are correct, there is not a failsafe in the event of a failure. This is the primary reason why the hydraulic is the factory go to for the manufacturer. If the hydraulics fail the fan locks in all the time keeping constant air flow. One reason diesel is such the go to is its ability to run...

    And let me tell you they produced a marvel of modern engineering [emoji1751][emoji1787]. Look, a lot has changed since the initial design. The electric fan is an option, if you don't want it cool. If you do i have a good setup for you. Cheers. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Your just going to have to see it work. What you described does not happen. It simply does not operate in the way stated. There is no load up from the generator when the fan is in operation. A generator is always producing its designed amperage. It does not quit and does not have a clutch...
