I will be posting more info as time permits. However I thought I would post up some stuff now to show everyone how I did this. Motorcraft fans are (P/N AL3Z-8C607-A) from the 2010 f-150. These fans are very strong at 100%. This past weekend I removed the DC controller and installed a Painless F5 (30140) dual fan controller. A great product in my opinion. Had everything needed. I didn't have to purchase anything but wire loom to make it pretty. Runs the fans at 50% based on initial temp setting then boost them to 100% based on second setting. Both temp settings are adjustable. AC running makes them run 100%. They also tie to the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) and shut off at my set speed. I have chosen 22mph. In addition the fans can be run at 100% via a toggle switch so cooling at the drag strip will be a breeze. I like the fact that the fans use a standard Delphi temp sensor (which has been used in automobiles for 15 years) which you screw right into the cooling system (using Flex-a-lite 32084) verses the temp probe stuck in the cooling fins which is how some other controllers do it. 2007 F-150 with Motorcraft Electric Fans - YouTube Toggle switch for manual operation. (You do not have to install this, it's optional with the kit) Painless controller mounted on the battery box. Slight triming to fan shroud needed to clear abs system. The motorcraft fans alighned perfectly with three out of four holes already in the radiator. The one that didn't was on the upper drivers side. It was off by an inch. So I made a bracket from alum flat bar to compensate for the offset. The adapter Flex-a-lite 32084 is on the way. Cheapest I could find it was here http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/de...e&apwidj4BrFwK $45 to my door. It's black so it won't draw attention. Looking forward to its arrival. The ac compressor signal tie in is a gray/with white stripe. The harness runs down to the compressor. You can slide under the truck and pull the wire loom back to see if yours is the same. It's only two wires. The other is black. The wires run up and into the large harness by the oil cap. This is where I tied in. The vss wire is grey/with black stripe. It can be found in the radio harness as well as the plug on the accelerator. I tied in at the accelerator. The pic below shows the green wire for ac compresser signal entering the harness and you will also see an orange wire which is for swiched ignition 12v or acc. You see the long retangular plug as well and this black wire is a switched ignition source. The 22mph number I pulled outta my ass lol. I'm sure 15-20mph would work fine. You just need air moving across the radiator and 22mph sounded good to me. Changing this setting is as easy as pushing a button. Below is a pic of the switch mounted beneath the dash. The cool thing is there is already a hole there that it fits in perfectly. You simply drive the speed you want the fans to cut off at and press the button. It's done and unless you press the button again at a different speed thats where they will shut off at.
good write up, i know guys on f150online were having problems getting the 2010 fans to work on their trucks. btw, your truck idles like a 7.3
Lmao!! The cell makes it awful. There's no bass or rumble. Here's a couple of vids when the truck was bascally stock with just a Whipple and a catback Fastlane Motorsports - 07 Whipple F-150 - Custom Tune - Jason Barker - Burnout Video - YouTube Fastlane Motorsports - 07 Whipple F-150 - Custom Tune - Jason Barker - YouTube
one of the best write ups ive ever seen on e-fans, i know who to talk to in the future about doin this mod
Awesome writeup. I was looking at the Painless fan controller and glad to see that you're enjoying it.
man great write up. thanks for the pics, part numbers, and installation tips. definitely needs to be a sticky. think you just motivated me to convert to efans finally.
