Mark VIII fan

Mike_W · 03-27-2002, 08:23 PM

Just bought a Mark VIII fan and my buddy at Ramchargers said it draws too much amps and it's no good even with a 3G alt. If you have one, what alt. do you run and have you had any problems? How did you wire it in?

The guy at Ramchargers says that most people he knows have had the thermo switch screwup on them, so they wired it directly, so it turns on when motor is on and off when motor is off. Now I don't know about this whole deal, I mean these motors have enough problems starting when they're hot as it is (modified ones that is).

Thanks, I somehow knew that guy was full of crap. He steered me in the wrong direction before and this was the last straw.
