Not sure if anyone has mentioned or not but changing from mechanical to electric fan greatly reduces strain on the water pump bearings so that is another reason to change it.

I did this to me Dad's 1500 as well before he sold it. Here are the most frequently asked questions... From my point of View: 1. Save Gas / Fuel Economy = YES... 1-3 MPG 2. Engine Crank Smoother / Start Faster = YES, Easy too! 3. Limit Engine / Parts from Wear and Tear = YES 4. Cut down Engine Heat / Cooler Engine = YES 5. Get more out of the Alternator gain Amperage = YES, never seen over 14.5V 6. Gain more Horse Power = YES, Especially if Fan Seized... They said it's about 1-2HP to run Clutch Fan, but if Seized... It's 15-20HP and sound like an Air Plane, LOL !!! NOTE: You will NOT REGRET doing this !!!

Boosted thx for your earlier reply. I did the conversion. The fan fits perfectly. Problems I ran into: #1. Had to extend wire so plug would reach the fan. #2. 2015 and up to present PCMs on Rams are locked and have to be sent out to be unlocked before you can adjust the fan temp. The original preset temp for my truck comes on at 232 degrees if there is a malfunction with the manual clutch fan and your condenser fan needs to "Try" to cool off engine. Cooling fan will always stay on with A/C or defrost being on. Which is no problem for me because one is always on anyway. My gas mileage did improve on the highway 1 to 2 mpg. From 17-18 mpg to 20-21 mpg. Hope this helps someone. I appreciate all the videos. You do a good job.

Good job for not playing the music while you’re talking.

That little green "thing" on the plug is called a thermocouple. There is a set temp that when it reaches that temp it will close loop and turn the fan on. If you mount it in a location that has better access to engine temp (closer to the radiator) you will see a difference in when the fan turns on/off. The more remote of a location and the cooler it stays the less your fan will turn on. Just think of it like a thermostat in your house, if you put it in a closet it will only cool/heat the house when the temp in that closet goes above/below the set temp no matter if the rest of the house is 30 degrees or 120 degrees. So place it where you want it to read the proper temp so it comes on/off at the right time. Sticking it away from the engine or behind something will only cause the fan to turn on when the air in that area reaches the right temp.

its good to see someone showing the work being done instead of do this and that and tada its done

I just did the v6 efan conversion!!!! And it is working fine till now!!! Thanks to you!!!!

Just finished my conversion in 2014 Ram. Old fan (nut) turned out to be the fan from hell. Made a spanner that wasn't strong enough, fabricated a new one in a fork configuration with stainless bolts for strength. Fastened handle to upper inner fender, used a 2' crescent wrench and 6' square tubing as cheater bar. Nut finally broke loose. Rest of install was textbook. It's winter here in CO so will look into a programmer later in spring to set fan turn on. Thank you for showing us this mod.

Looks like it might have been a little easier loosening the fan from under the truck, good job big dog. Keep the videos coming I learn a lot from you. I'm working on getting me a dodge 5.7 hemi.

Great video bro! My Hemi started acting up and turns out it's the cooling fan. I've purchased fan and look forward to installing it myself. It will save me some money. Thank you and please keep posting videos.

USE CAUTION - I suggest checking the AC pressures. If there is something missing in the conversion the fan will not turn on for the AC condenser and cause the high side pressure to go too high and damage the AC system. I learned this the hard way = blew out seals on 4 AC compressors after doing mods on a RAM 2500. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't figure out the problem and I only stumbled onto it by doing my own recharge and truck sitting idling, I witnessed high side pressure climb and fan not turning on.

I have seen a ton a videos saying "do this do that add these to increase mpg and hp" if you look enough you can find videos of people who disagree. This is probably the first item I havent found a counter video to.

Good idea on using the breaker bar with the socket adapter for the water pump pulley. I think I'm finally going to do this on my 09. After 95k. The A/C fan stopped working, so probably won't be long till the clutch fan goes.

In my shop we call those clips “Jesus clips”. When they invariably go flying off - never to be found, you say “Oh Jesus”.

I just discovered your channel. I love it! I wish I found your channel sooner. Thanks for the content.

Well thanks to you I am doing the same upgrade on my '15 R/T. Picked up my fan unit today (Denso) but I have been working on that dam fan for two hours and can't break it loose. Truck only has 19K miles and thought or hoping it would come off easy as yours. You say it's reversed threads so that is the direction I'm going as well. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for the info.....living in the mountains of Colorado I’ve been wanting to do the conversion and get rid of the clutch fan and get the more powerful electric cam fan.

Has anyone had any problems/complications due to removing the fan? I have a 2008 dodge 5.7. I bought it about 3 months ago I love the other than the gas mileage. I average between 14.5-15.5 mpg. I had a 98 Dodge Ram a long time ago and I did this mod to it. I just don’t remember that far back what all went into it. Great videos too you’re videos are very informative and detailed keep up the good work buddy.

The 3rd wire one the opposite side is probably coming into the resistor that you refered to as a " Box looking thingy" on the bottom of the plugs. That resistor is what is going to tell it to turn on and off and when and how much power and how fast the fan needs to spin to control the motor

Change my RAM today, pretty easy with your video, and everything works perfect. Turn on the AC and the fan runs!

First of all, I’d like to know why they don’t do this in the first place? It appears to be very efficient. Is it still meeting expectations? Also, it’s on me, but I didn’t realize there were two fans installed already. Just had no reason to look. I understand the drag coefficient on the engine mounted fan, but how is it more efficient to remove two fans and replace it with one? Just curious. That said, I have a 2013 Ram HEMI I’d like to improve mileage and efficiency of operation. This looks like a good fix 👍🏼

SO.... I did this Mod on my 2013 RAM 1500. And DAMN! if it worked!!! I pull a trailer around town and usually got 7 MPG. after the mod, Almost 10! Highway I went from 16 to 19 MPG. (average increase after 1100+ mile highway road trip.) It was well worth the 110.00 dollar investment for the new fan. I also noted the engine runs about 10 degrees cooler. It hasn't caused any issues so I likely won't change out the thermostat. Couple of things to note about the process; The engine fan is definitely a counter clockwise rotation for removal. Counter clockwise facing the truck. I watched other videos saying its clockwise.... NO... its counterclockwise....and mine was tight. It took me making a tool that fit into the water pump pulley holes to break it loose. after that it was 10 minutes to do the mod. when your remove the stock fan shroud, don't bend or loose the retaining clips. you need them to secure the new electric fan. Also, the new electric fan comes with a mount for the long radiator hose that crosses in front of the engine. So, carefully remove the plastic hose support clamp in the middle of the stock fan shroud because you will need to reuse the clamp. On my RAM the electric connector was in the right place to connect to the new fan. Didn't have to move or extend wiring, or pull the thermostat or anything like that. Just plugged it in and off I went. This was a great MOD for me. Thanks Dude. This was a BIG HELP! Now off I go to replace the stupid exhaust manifold bolts that snap off in the engine. This should have been a recall. GRRRR. Update!!!! OK its been a year and a half since I did this MOD. Still going Strong! The temperature decrease hasnt changed or caused me any issues. Still loving that I changed out the fan! This really isnt one of those short sighted MODS that end up costing you in the long run. Thanks again guys for posting this.

I like to use an air hammer to remove the clutch fans, just hit the nut in the direction you need it to spin off. It comes off in seconds, and really effortless 😎

Fan removal tip with just a wrench and dead blow hammer (I just did it on a my '17): 1- Nice squirt of PB blaster where nut meets pulley. Wait a few minutes. 2- Whatever wrench you use, make sure it is fitted so the shaft runs vertical to the ground 3- With a little bit of hand pull to the right (clockwise and don't he-man it), take a dead blow hammer and smack the bottom of the wrench. After a few hits, it will loosen. The tension of the drive belt keeps the pulley from moving. Again, don't he-man the wrench. Just some pressure to the right. Edit 04/22/24: See response below for other info.

Added electric fans to my Silverado Very good addition

I am impressed by what you do, and I like every thing you did in your truck I have question about fan installation In Saudi Arabia the temperature increase to 52 degrees in summer and decrease to 0 degrees in winter Does this fan work well Does this fan run with the a/c only or what

First off, just discovered your channel and only seen a handful of videos but they are all awesome! Keep it up. Second, I have two questions:1) I saw a few comments say that a tuner isn't necessary however, does that mean it could cause any harm if you go without a tuner for an extended period of time? 2) How is this holding up after nearly a year?*Currently I have a stock 2014 Ram 1500 Sport w/MOPAR Cold Air Intake*

Just added an efan yesterday to my 2013 Bighorn and used your video as a guide so thanks! Oddly enough the electrical connector for the fan was more than long enough to connect to the v6 fan. I was all ready to pull the grill and reroute the wiring harness to get some more length like you showed in the other video but it reached and just plugged in. Guess I got lucky lol

Will changing out the thermostat to a lower temp racing one (like 180 degree) help without a tuner for the e fan swap on a ram hemi?

Yeah the temperature sending unit have to send a signal when it reaches a certain temperature I believe 180 190 Being a mechanic you can actually test it before you purchase it for a positive lead to one side and the negative to the other worst case scenario is it one is backwards just to test it if you’re doing plug-and-play it’s no big deal the hornist should be there obviously you’re using it .. Found this very interesting thank you

The fan did not come on because the mechanical fan we still installed causing coolant temp and compressor discharge pressure to be running at the correct tem and pressure .

Is the plug ONLY on the sport or is it in other trims? I have a 2015 ram bighorn and I'd love to do this EDIT: Never mind, I found the plug. Seems to be apart of an e-clutch for the mechanical fan or something like that. So should work for most trims

On that fan harness, you could have drilled a hole in the webbing of the fan house bracing and zip tie or bolt the clip to that.

Barely came across your channel. I will be using your Ram videos to aid me in the upgrades to my Ram. Thanks!

Awsome video! Doing another repair that requires taking the fan out. Your video was essential to removing the fan. Thanks so much. I just want to ask do you have to use a tuner when adding the efan?

Hi, love your videos man. Is this fan only turn on when the ac is on , or also when the engine gets up to temperature?

I got like three pieces of flat iron and some old steel nails and I just cut the nails and welded them on the correct spacing on the flat bar and welded the flat bars together and I had like half a horseshoe5 and that fit into the spanner wrench holes I think weighed like 30 lbs too it was super unnecessary but I still have that thing and it has come in handy more than a few times after that, I definitely want to get that electric fan now that thing looks easy to install electric fan now I think that's very easy to use

To remove electric fan we have to remove the macanic one first?

You mentioned about getting the Diablo Sport Trinity T-1000. When you do, you will not need that electric fan. The programmer/ tune will enable the factory fan to damn near run continuously. I have a 2014 Ram 1500 crew cab 4x4 with 8inch lift on 35x12.5r20, S&B cold air intake, Flowmaster Outlaw Muffler, with the Diablo Sport Trinity T-1000. The is Beast for a gaser. Good Luck!!!

Can u pull a loaded trailer to see if the e-fan is going to work on keeping it cool

The clutch fans are not that loose in Canada 🇨🇦 lots of the time you better have a torch ready seized solid most of the time. I use a flat bar with to bolts to hold the water pump

The parasitic loss from the clutch fan can be 15hp or more. The problem, other than high side a/c, would be that v6 fan not pulling enough CFM to cool during towing or desert temps. Not all electric fans are rated the same.

awesome video bro! Now I'm thinking doing the same thing for my 2017 ram 5.7L :)

I have the 4.7L engine and my fan turns counterclockwise to remove. I realized this AFTER listening to the forums who were ADAMANT that it was clockwise. Weird.

I have a 2015 Ram 1500 3.6 penstar and it was throwing a fan alarm code and all it was the electrical wiring harness was in 2 clips on the fan that was shorting it out and I removed the wiring harness from the plastic clips and it was fine.

Doing this right now ! Thanks for the video !

Without programming would it be a good idea to do the conversion and then get a 180 degree thermostat?

Wonder if there is any difference with this and the 4x4 version of the 2014

good video bro. I am reading all the comments and i figured o would provide a little tech info regarding cooling, fans, and lower temp t-stats. Thes RAMS are designed for best performance at around 230 degrees. The V6 Fan is a pretty fail safe mod, however due to the way the transmissions cool on these trucks, i advise utilizing a tuner. I personally prefer HEMIFEVER with an SCT programmer, but the DIABLO offers more in depth trans adjusting with a 91 octane tune through HEMIFEVER.

So glad the new 5th Gens have electric fans.

Your videos a great. I am locating the proper fan to convert my 2014 1500 Express. Just wanted to know how yours worked out and will it turn on without the A/C running. ex when weather is cooler to cold

Using an electric fan and an electric water pump on vehicles (like racing and etc..) go way back. Most front wheel drive vehicles have two fans. One fan sometimes comes on even when the car is turned off if hard driving has been taking place beforehand. Normally fan one runs most of the time and then the 2nd fan starts too like when you are sitting in traffic on hot day. I would look to install an electric waterpump too if you gonna do the fan thing. May as well go all out.

Is there a mopar shroud that goes around this fan as well? Did you ever end up extending the harness so that you could have it clipped in where it was supposed to go? Do you still have the truck and the same cooling fan? Awesome video!

Trading my 2016 ram ecodiesel in for a limited 18 hemi..... wonder if the ecodiesel fan would work? Also if I do this you think ill void my warrantie? Love your vids brother! Keep em coming!

thanks for this video! Now you got me hooked on that idea and I want to modify my 2014 Ram Sport. I was just wondering, do you have any concerns buying a non-Mopar version of the E-Fan? there's a ton of them out there, and they are a lot less money than the original Mopar one. Any thoughts?

Q1-Does this conversion affect the A/C cooling ( we are living in middle east Dubai) so hot in summer Q2-I already had my thermostat 180 how the fan will work with it? Q3-How much CFM does it make? Q4-I already bought the flex a lite 480( not installed yet) do I continue with it or use your method? which one is more recommended for performance and daily drive. note my car RAM1500 2015 5.7 fully exhaust system CAI the throttle body underdrive pulley not installed yet and no tune also and I might go for 6.4 HEMI maybe. I use it for street and offroad sorry for all the Q haha. thank you for your time

Can I keep my mechanicals and add the v6 . Super hot in tx

Did you get any engine lights after unplugging the stock electric fan?

If I want to do this to a 2012 Laramie 1500 what fan am I looking for?

I have a question. What were the reasons you did this? Cooling, any HP Gaines, etc? Also what the hell is the point of two fans on the Hemi? Why wouldn’t FCA do this themselves?

I have the same truck and I can't get over 13 miles per gallon you put electric fan and other things last week I changed my spark plugs and it just has better throttle response

2019 Classic 5.7 hemi has both fans, elec and manual.

Thank you! Very helpful

I have a 2013 RAM with the most rare engine for that model year being a 4.7L V8. I know that this will work, i just wanna get your thoughts. Currently, my engine at max temp only sees around 195-200 on an extremely hot day, and the transmission never goes above 120.

Great video and very informative.. thanks for the tips

Would you get a check engine after conversion?

Does this mod work on older gen 5.7 aka 2002-2005? Its unclear if this fan actually fits the older setups.

What was your operating temp before and after

What are the power gains doing this ?

Little hot coolant temp or no? Do you have the coolant temps before the swap? To compare? Gonna do this on my 06 ram 4x4 5.7 soon if it is still positive results from your truck?

I would like to see when you do an upgrade performance the différences before and after on a track !?! Just too see how much IT worth

Alright buddy, I got one question. Why not just take the fan clutch off, leave the stock fan shroud and use the stock V8 fan. Granted it is smaller than the V6 fan. But not much and it's already designed for a Hemi. I would just do it to free up horsepower. Not worried about room in the engine compartment. Question is, Is the V8 stock electric fan enough to cool without the mechanical fan?

What are you hoping to get by installing the 180 degree thermostat with this mod? Is 200 degrees too hot? Why have the fan run so hard if it isn't needed?

Another great video. I really enjoy working on my Ford Sport Trac and my 2008 Dodge Viper. With your videos it makes my life much easier. I was thinking about a Diablo tuner to try and get more HP out of the Viper. Would you recommend that? Thanks once again. Thumbs up from me.

So this is basically a straight bolt in? I thought the computer needed to be tuned for the new fan to kick on, 220 degrees seems a little high. I’ve never seen my ram over 206

How does a person find this exact set up? I have a 2008 dodge Laramie 5.7 Facebook marketplace find. It currently has clutch fan and electric condenser fan.

Was tune required for e fans to turn on and off

Should we start the truck and get everything up to 200° before starting work?

Has anyone done any mods to the ags system? Im doing the fan clutch delete this week, im going with 180 thermostat and i have diablo intune 3 to adjust my fan on , just wondering if i need to do anything to the active grille shutters, thanks in advanve for any guidance?

How come the wires leading up to the pins aren't in line with the wires and pins on my oem harness? I received my fan today and noticed that the wires and pins are in a different location but it plugs in ok. I noticed yours was the same in the video, hopefully it's nothing to worry about. Any ideas why's it's like that?

Couldn't you put in a cooler thermostat of 180 instead of the 220 stock one ?

I have a 2020 classic and was told 2018 so I was wondering if anyone knows if I can do this still

I would like to know when the engine rises temperature the fan turns on by itself

Did you check to see if the stock 5.7 efan was enough to cool (without mechanical fan attached) before changing to the v6 fan? I've had seen post about it before, but can't seem to find anyone specific that has tried.

I have a fan off of a V6 Dakota to replace the mechanical fan on my 08' Ram. Has all the same mounting holes/brackets and even has a male 3 blade plug on the electric fan I bought, but I cannot find the female plug on my V8 Hemi to plug it into. Any help would be great!

I wish RAM would have did an electric fan from the factory. At least on the 2013 update if anything.

Great videos, i have a 2013 ram 1500, will that same fan fit my truck thank u

Would this be a good upgrade if you pull stuff with your truck? Ill be pulling 24 ft camper.

The condenser fan turns on and off with the pressure on the high side of A/C system

Would there be any problems if i change to 180 thermostat an the v6 fan without a tune?

Does the fan only come on when you turn on AC or does it come on when they truck starts to get hot?

Just curious how much HP this freed up and how much better mileage have you noticed?

Whats interesting is that my truck shows the same Temps. and I don't have a k&n cold air intake nor an electric fan. 🧐

Could I get your fan in that garage I’ll cash app you right now lol 😂

The 2019's have changed over to an electric fan for the v8's. :)

Good info ,thank,do you have any video that show how to remove front bumper,just had small fender bender,want to remove and put new bumper

I tried installing a 2011 4.7 fan and it’s not turning on when it’s at 200 degrees I have a 17 ram 1500 hemi plz help

is there any reason this would not work with a vanaram air grabber?

Easy to change the thermostat to 190F factory come with 200 F thermostat. Also i use castro egde synthetic on my ram Will run 20 F cooler then mobil 1 synthetic.
