Thread: electric fans

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    I have a 99 silverado and am looking to do an electric fan set up. I was wondering if I should use a f-body set up or look for an after market fan. The truck is basicly a stock 5.3 extended cab with the towing package. I still plan on using it to tow from time to time and dont want it overheat. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

    1/4: 15.66@88.1 Before Nelson, headers, and de-cating
    Also 69 camaro SS 350 4speed, 13.81@103.6, Ls1 swap planned

    go with the flex-a-lite monster fans. They work great.

    If you search past posts, someone posted all the part numbers to put the new 2005 silverado fans on a factory 34" radiator. If you have a parts hookup person at a local dealer you can buy factory stuff instead of aftermarket. NelsonPerformance.com has fan relays and stuff to wire them in. You can email Allen and he can set you up with the wiring half.

    I am not going to quote a price because he is a personal friend of mine and he gave me a good deal. However, I can tell you these are unused units and they will be much cheaper than piecing them together on your own....Give him a ring and see!

    LS1 f-bod fans work well on the 28" radiator, I wish I had bigger fans than my LS1 ones for my 34" rad. In time, I'll upgrade to those '05 models...

    would the electric fans for a 2005 Tahoe, Yukon and Suburban fit on my 2001 silverado 5.3? i think i found some for my truck if they will fit it measures approximately 34 1/2" wide, 20" high and 4" deep if that helps any

    if they do fit, does anyone have a clue of how they cool in comparison to the flexalites?
