Electric Fan help

[black2002ls]

I need some help setting up my electric fan. I've got a miscellaneous Dual e-fan on my s-10. Its currently hard wired. What have you guys used as far as electromechanical thermostats for these? Also, has anyone wired one up in a late model S-series truck? I've got a 2003, and I'm not sure where to pull power from under the hood.

Power off the battery, thru some sort of breaker, depending on amp draw of the fan on starup. Painless has a metric t-stat, but it's 205 on / 195 off. Use it to ground fire a relay. Done.

I use a Dakota Digital controller and it works great!

they make universal thermostat and relay kits on eBay. they are really inexpensive and a lot of guys that convert to e fans in f150s use them.

I found a few on summit's website. I need to get a multimeter and see what the amp draw is on this set up.
