im looking at taking off my stock rad fan that runs off the engine and putting two electric ones. is this worth it? and is there a way of installing a automatic switch like a car has. or would it just be easier to have it on a manual switch. this is going on my 98 chevy silverado.

You can pick up a thrmostatic switch from autozone that will turn them on automatically. When I ran fans on my dodge they worked fine, i just used a manual switch though. Make sure you buy fans that have enough CFM for your motor, esp. if you have AC. I ran two large fans on the rear of the radiator.

were does that switch go? and yes i have AC, how does that make a diffrence? and how do i find out if the fans i have are strong enough. they came off a 91 olds 98 delta with a 3.8L

I think the 3.8 fans might be enough. They are dual fans arent they?

guys on CK5 are using electric fans from Ford Taurus' and Windstar's, so that is another option.

find some off a LT1 caprice, impala, roadmaster, fleetwood ect. They were used on all these cars form 94-96 and there's a ton in the boneyards. they're a twin elec. setup.

Just hook it up and give it a try, it should be fine, I picked up about the same setup as the guy above me in his checy, Payed 10 bucks. Sure they will work beautiful. Not to mention my buddy ran a ram charger (beat the piss outta it) and just ran little elec fans, was always very cool.
