CAMAROBOY69 Now has me worried, it might be unfounded but it’s a cheap fix to be sure I don’t have any problems down the road :dunno:
I have an aftermarket electric fan on my car right now, and while it has not over heated yet (I only have 75 miles on the car so far) I did end up having to sit through a few stop lights on my way home yesterday and the temp crept up to around 200-205 deg or so.
As soon as I started moving it went back down around 185 deg.
Now that the car is drivable I am able to upgrade the fan just to stay on the safe side.
I have two options I’ve looked into today, (I've just spent 2hrs in front of the computer running searches on various forums) a dual 4th gen LT1 Fan and of course the Mark VIII fan. I know you guys think the Mark VIII rules, but will the LT1 Duals be enough for me? (I found the LT1 for $125 and the LS1 for $75 at a local yard) Anyone know the difference between the LT1 and LS1 Fans, I know the shroud is different, but does one work better than the other?
I have looked at rockauto and they list two different part numbers for the Mark VIII fans, 97 lists a RF56 and 98 lists a RF64.. Which one do I want if I go that route?
Does anyone know if both years take the same pigtail? Motorcraft webpage lists pigtail number WPT-362 for the 97 but don’t list one for the 98..
I know I would need a 70 AMP Relay for the Mark VIII. Anyone know what sizes the LT1 requires?
