E-Fan Install

[ak_cowboy]

I'm doing lots of mods to my truck since I haven't been driving it and have come up on the infamous e-fan mod.
I have 2 fans from a late 90s tauraus, and know about how to mount them and needing a relay and all that. Just wondering if I need a new belt or not. Who here has done this?

This isn't about if e-fans work or its a good idea or any of that, just a simple install thread. If you don't like it, gtfo


Here are the fans I gots:
32" total width

why would you possibly need a new belt?

 

[ak_cowboy]

Because of taking off the fan and fan clutch? idk, thats why I asked...

 

[rrogers]

i think you just remove the fan clutch from the crank shaft pulley,if im correct you have to use a special tool to do this

 

[ak_cowboy]

Ah, that makes sense. Cool deal. I'm picking up my new trans Friday, so maybe I can do the fans Saturday.

I'll have to take a trip to pullapart to see if I can find a set of fans now.

So how about that install Will?

I got to caught up with my lights and mirrors this week. I'm taking her to the shop Monday to get the trans in, so maybe next week... I don't have the money for the relay right now and want to do it right the first time

That's cool, just wondered what happened since you were planning on doing it soon.
