Mechanical to Elect. fan conversion.

[Knigh7s]

so I can use the stock VX shroud placements. It looks like the fan was made for it.

Couple question, Can you keep the shroud installed around the fan? Pictures?

"Good God, it took you so long to answer that! Do you know how hard it was to not type something? I had to let you continue before answering... so anyway, the correct answer is........ you get a whopping .1% increase in throttle response, according to Vulcan. Orion says it is more than that though and I believe Orion's firsthand experience over Tom's so-called math skills, anyday!"

Well ... I thought that one may have been played to death. Since it came up again all by itself, thought I'd try one more time.

I never really said that my math was correct - I was just thinking out loud. As a matter of fact, I worked it out in my head as I was cruising I95 at the break neck speed of just over 2mph. I'm still waiting for someone to convince me I'm wrong (I thought I was wrong once before in my life but that was a mistake).

So just to keep the discussion on the intellectual level, my response is:

PPPHHHHTTT!!!!

2 problems with Moab:

1. too far.

2. I like mudding better than slick rock.

The fan that I (and ORION) have comes with it's own shroud, so the stock VX one will be obsolete. He has a couple pics in his gallery and I will default to his, because installed, mine looks exactly the same.

I let the fab shop know about the poll results and he said go ahead and move forward with these for $60 shipped. I am leaving town this weekend, but will start putting together the instructions and some pics of the fab work next week.

Please take note that I am only including instructions on how to do this with an early 90's (preferably a 94) Dodge Caravan or Plymouth Voyager fan, with the shroud (mine was all one piece), and with about 1.5 feet of the stock fan wiring. I have not wired this to a thermostatic control, so that part is on your own. The only thing coming in this package are two top "L" brackets (for the fan), a lower bracket/plate (for the fan), some nuts and bolts, instructions, and pictures.

Make sure that the fan you pickup works. The stock fan wiring is light green (high), dark green (low), black (ground), and striped (not sure). When you get the fan out, just touch the black wire to the negative on a car battery, and one of the greens to the positive. Make sure the battrery is working...

My paypal address is eccqcboy@yahoo.com and please give me about two weeks max to get everything together for shippment. I have bought and sold on eBay for awhile now and my ID is crager34, so you can see my feedback there for referrance. I promise that I will either deliver the product, or if that somehow falls through, to promptly refund your money. I am not making anything on this. The profits go entirely to Moab 4x4 Outpost here in Moab.

Future ideas for the VX are skid plates, rock rails, and anything else you can think of. I see how much some of these things are out there and I am hopeful to be able to make these much more affordable.

Please feel free to email me with any quesitons you have.
