Electric Fans Install, water jacket location?

[woldd90]

I am in the middle of installing a pair of 16 inch Procomp fans with a Derale adjustable thermostat. It requires me to install the temp sending unit into a 3/8 water jacket on the intake, block, radiator or etc. I have searched high and low with no luck. Anyone know where I can find one?

And/or is there a technical write up for this? Has anyone else done it? Any help will be appreciated.

So they got there okay right? Pm JK Motorsports, he has a complete writeup of installing electric fans.

Yeah, they got here on Wednesday... I meant to drop you a note, but got tied up. I sent JK Motorsports a PM. Do you have a copy of it? I have searched and searched, and can't seem to find much of anything.

Actually, since the site went through the upgrade, you cant search for it....i think a few of the moderators have access to it and i know JK does

You'll need to tap the radiator or go through the fins as close as possible to the upper hose. I've also seen quite a few people running a nelson harness so the pcm controls the fans. Check out flexalite's install guide, maybe jk can chime in here but the e-fans aren't too difficult on these trucks

Here's my thread of the fan install. Not sure how much it will help, being as it's not really a "how-to" thread. But if you go midway through the thread, I have a list of required special tools and parts I used, as well as the removal procedure of the stock fan, shroud, etc.
