The Electric fan conversion will work on the 99-06 Gm trucks with the vortec v8 I’m not sure about the 6 cylinder models, if the fuse box looks the same it should be good. You will need the electric fan harness from a 03-06 Gm truck.

The bottom of my fuse box in the center black squares have different color wires then urs.. for example looks like u have like 3 reds on the top right hand side and I have none.. and another thing is u have the blue wire and then next to it u have the dark green wire that u tap in to.. on mine I have a dark green wire where ur blue one is and then next to it I have two black wires where your dark green wire is.. So do I tap into the dark green one where ur blue one is or do I tap into the black ones where your dark green wire is? And then next question if I tap into one of my two black wires where ur dark green one is which one do I tap into or would it matter?

What year is your truck? It sounds like those 2 black wires are shared ground, it’s best to test your dark green wire with a multimeter to see if it gives it 12v when the ac clutch engages and if not you can test the black wires with the meter, or you can also get the clutch wire on the compressor plug

For everyone keep in mind if youre gonna pull these out of a junkyard. ONLY 2005 and 2006 trucks have electric fans. A way to tell if the truck has electric fans is by seeing if they have a lower splitter/lip on the front bumper. Some LS or SLE models might not have a splitter

If I dont find a 2005 electric fan set to replace my old clutch fan... Any good single fan options? I already pulled the AC belt off since AC is not needed up here. A single 9 or 10 blade that pulls 12amps or less should suffice.

@MiGo713 7 ай бұрын

@@cjrciadt the 05-06 fans will work or the 07-14 Fans as well. On my Tahoe I used them off a 2010 Tahoe, they sell them new or usually can be found used in a salvage yard or market place. I believe the factory dual fans will work best since there is no modification needed to mount them in place they only require to have the 34” radiator

@billcullifer260 7 күн бұрын

great instructional video. I have a 2001 Tahoe with an aftermarket set of fans. They quit working as I was towing a 5k trailer in over a 100 degres weather. Not fun. Fortunately, I pulled off and saved my engine. A friend rewired to a switch that I can turn it on and off. Saved my butt and travel plans. Now that I have this set up, Im kind of liking the idea of a simple "on and off" from my dash with a light. I left tbe clutch fan on for cooler weather and non towing. Question you ok? How much did you spend on the 2003 fans and the 2007 wiring and harness how time did it take you? Im asking because I only use my Tahoe for vacations. Bottom line? I may just keep it the way it is. Can you see any reason I cant just bypass all of this with a simple on and off switch? This is not a daily driver.

@MiGo713 6 күн бұрын

It sounds like you already have it working with a toggle switch. It cost me around 300 with original fans and wiring. It takes about 1hr or less to install, took me longer filming. But I did this to my daily driver so I don’t have to worry about controlling it myself with a toggle switch the relays take care of that.

How dose your alternator handle the extra pull from the fans?

@MiGo713 11 ай бұрын

Like a champ it’s a High output Dc Power Alternator 370amp, but the way they are wired they don’t pull much in series mostly In the 40amp range, for brief moments it pulls the full 80 amps when everything is going like A/C and right engine temperature at idle, other than that 40 on the road with the A/C, so even with the 130amp stock alternator is ok, but of course having a high output Alternator is always good 👍🏼

@josephsuit433 2 ай бұрын

So my truck is a 2004 Silverado. Snagged the bigger heavt duty fans and radiator out of a 2006 Z71 and the fan harness and relays out of a 2005 Tahoe and hooked them up exactyas he did. However my AC wire was in a different location and different color. No big deal. The thermo switch kit, regulator and plug in stock at Advanced Auto cost me about $50. Pretty easy . Follow what he says and adjust the thermo switch or you will kill your battery! Great video

They can be wired to which ever source you want them to be turned on with a negative signal, for example another temperature sensor,toggle switch or any other you want. The high side is not designed to be powered on too long with the factory wiring they pull 80 amps on high.

And so I prefer upgrading to a AGM style battery which do not require maintenance and won’t spill, they also usually have more power and don’t get damaged when drained like a standard battery, so I like Using the XS Power battery’s on my truck even though there are other AGM brands
