Ever since I have changed to aluminium heads, the temp on my car is always around the 210 to 220 mark, well yester day I dropped in to Seco and picked up this Thermostat switch.

Turns the fans on at 180* and cuts them off at 170* I must say that this is a must for anyone with a 96 up car that wants the car to run cooler with out having to get a chip burned to do it. The cost was $24.99. Here are some pics of teh install and of the part number card for those interested.

though quite a bit more exensive, the controllers at
www.dccontrol.com are very well liked. they are progressive units - no relays or switches, which is much easier on the charging system.

but for the money, SB, that is a nice upgrade. glad you likey

That set up looks pretty nice. Just a little too much coin for me right now, that may come into play sometime in the future tho.

oh i hear ya bud. i know of two or three guys whom run those controllers and they are the types who are very hands on, but also wont stop till it is perfect. if i can toss some money at something and get it to halfway work, im happy; not so for these guys.
so i figure if it meets their seal of approval, it must be a nice unit. i guess the customer service there is top notch too.

if i even had an elec fan, it would have an SPDT relay or two, an adjustable controller and a manual switch for when the controller dies. LOL. im poor.

Do these plug into the existing harness or is splicing required? Any other pertinent install details? TIA

Splicing into the harness is involved.

For Switched 12v i tapped into pin 13 on the CCRM with is hot when key in run/start only. Then just wired all the other wires like normal.
