Post by FordTruck »

Are electric fans a pretty easy thing to wire up on thease old bumps? Just wondering because my electrical skills aren't the best. Also what size or CFM would you guys recomend? :?

Not too hard to do at all.

But highly recommend installing a relay, a fused circuit and a thermostat to control it.
The relay is about the hardest part to wire, but once you've done it you'll never run anything on just a toggle again.
I had a two speed one from a pontiac fiero on my old style Bronco for about 4 years.
I would switch it off for deep water crossings, and then back on.
This was before my CRS kicked in, I'd definitely run it on a t-stat now! :lol:
