    It wasn't a little water, Travis got his truck drunk on creek water. I think the motor is fine, it's just that the S&B intake has the cold air tube that sticks too far down.

    Electric fans will probably work, they'll just be a pain. If possible, I would see if any oem parts can be made to work, that way if you're going to king of the trimmers with your new club cadet rig and your fan craps out on you, then you can go to the next parts store and get a new fan instead of trying to deal with summit and getting your truck home because you can't tow that much with no fan.

    It just sputtered a bit. Do you think flex-a-lite will have longevity issues? That's why I was thinking dual electric fans instead of a big single, redundancy. I really don't mind going to electric fans to get away from the electric fan clutch....

    Just fix the stock stuff. It never turns out well when you start ****ing with the factory cooling system. Just zip tie the wires away from the fan.

    oh ****. On second thought, cool it with liquid nitrogen....if you can't find that, just hire a mexican to stay under the hood and spray water on the radiator.

    Race trucks also drive less than 5,000 miles a year.

    quick internet research shows that stock fan pulls almost 25000 cfm at lock up. does your fan clutch ever lock? if so the electric fan will probably be insufficient.

    Really? Do you have any idea what a 25000 CFM fan would look like or how much air that is?

    From what I've found is a stock fan moves about ~6000 CFM at full lock up and the efficiency is debatable. The flex-a-lite fans are rated up too 5,500 cfm.

    Reason for going to electric fans:
    -Controllability, I'll be able to turn it off for water crossings or leave it on to aid in cool down.
    -Efficiency, electric fans are more efficient thus the reason they are on all the newer vehicles and I believe the flex-a-lite shroud will be an improvement over stock
    -Space, I can free up some under hood space.
    -Poor design running a guide rod for wires where there is so little clearance between the belt and fan.

    My concerns:
    -Not moving enough air
    -Reliability

    I agree it is alot but have you ever heard your fan at full lock up at 3000 rpm? I know a Duramax stock fan is alot more than 6000 CFM at full lockup at 3000 RPM.

    Electric fans are used on modern vehicles because they improve AC performance at low speed.

    Anyways try it and let us know how it works because I find threads on people asking and no real world experience.

    I am pretty sure Isuzu figured out how to power the fans on the Duramax with some sort of jet engine! I have yet to be able to find it under the hood, but I have definitely heard it when its at full throttle.

    That's pretty neat BDR


    As far as relocating the batteries (to the tool box for now) would it be better to wire the batteries in parallel and run 2 stands of 2/0 cable (positive and negative) to their original spots under the hood or run 4 2/0 cables under the hood? Or is 4 strands of 2/0 cable even going to be enough?


    eventually there will be a winch up front
