      Control

      Aparently the FK-35 works fine with the Mark VIII fan. Some people like to put one of the standard ISO relays on the Mark VIII fan. They are rated at 40/50 Amps. This sounds like a good thing... Right? Wrong. Unfortunately, when the fan does not have a controller to help it "ramp" up slowly, when the fan kicks on, there is upto a 100AMP spike! That is a good way to smoke your wiring harness.

      The DCControl.com controller removes the spike and controls the fan without all the extra wiring usually needed to wire the Mark VIII fan "the right way".

      awesome!

      Hey Tony-thanks for sharing-I'm going to look into that controller for my fan. Initially I planned on running a 70-amp Hella realy with a 50-amp fuse and 8-gauge Monster Cable +12v supply wire to it. I don't think I would have a terrible spike problem, but I'd rather be excessive on the side of safety anyway. Thanks again! -Jabin

      Fk-35

      I have been looking into one of these units why doesn't someone set up a discount or a group buy? I was thinking of contacting them but I can't seem to find the time.
