Re: another cheap electric fan build!
Did anyone ever give a definitive answer about using the temp sensor in the intake (for temp guage) instead of the one mounted in the side of the head?
Would this work? |
Re: another cheap electric fan build!
Called my local dealer and they said that they could not sell me the CBG4F250 fan since it was a replacement for a recall. Could sell it to another dealer but not to an individual.
Anyone else have this problem? Know a way around it? |
Re: another cheap electric fan build!
Try a different dealer maybe. That or read the previous page, some of the guys are buying them online at www.moparpart.com.

IE: with a 180* thermostat use a sender with 185* on and 170* off. Edit: I reread you post and perhaps your just wanting to know if the intake water jacket will work for the temp gauge. This will work as well. |
Re: another cheap electric fan build!
i found a thermostatic switch that controls the on ( 195 ) off at (180 )degrees . its a very heavy duty model used in off road equipment. has the correct thread size to screw into the head with no adapters and best of all it requires no relay to handle the 30 amps the fan draws at startup. also comes with wireing diagram and can be used with a manuel over-ride switch for driver controled off & on plus provision for a/c fan control. . if you need one or want pictures email me.

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
sorry it was 195 or 205 only for this machine so i got the 195 deg. i like on at 180 also but to do that you,ve got to run all the light duty parts and the relay. i like to keep it as simple as possible. less there is = lest to go wrong. you could always use the manuel switch for in town use.

Is the fan with part number 52079528AB the one that this replaces. or will this one work too?
What is the over all diameter of this recall fan? |

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
71 RAT great job, Just ordered mine today,hope it fits in a big block shroud as nice as the sm blk shroud..By the way where do you run your truck at , atco ,englishtown??
|
Re: another cheap electric fan build!
franks 72: thank you, I actually picked up a big block shroud today so im also interested in seeing how it works (i guess the next step would be to buy a big block and install it). As far as what track I race at, Im from northern nj so when i get around to racing i race at island dragway, but I did race at englishtown twice, once with my 71 longbed and once with my dads srt8 300. did you go to the swap meet this weekend at e-town?

i just measured my bb shroud and it measures a 21" hole over the sb 19 1/4 hole.... so the fans going to be a little smaller in it if used. no idea how it will work cooling a big block hopefully someone will chime in if they have tried it.

I ordered one of those (without measuring first) for my 70 big block truck. Just so you know, if you have a big block with a "long pump" setup there is not enough clearance.
