I did mine a little different. I bought the one piece adjustable fan controller for 40 bucks and had no problems with overheating or ac. I am running a 180 thermostat and it stays around 180 185.

Yea I did my set up the way I did bcuz I went through 2 O'riley and 1 AutoZone temp controllers... The relays kept burning up... Lead to a cracked rad and failed water pump... The fan draws as high as 60 amps... But if u got 1 that works 4 u great...

May I ask what is this?

Screenshots_2013-06-12-07-52-00.png

Regarding the main subject I habe the following questions:
1- why don't we use a Nissan efan control system?
2- I think you have to isolate the efan so no hot air well skip the shrod and return to the efan.
3- I loved the one fan idea instead of the dual system but why you did not continue with the push efan it is easy for you now? 4- why we didn't study the Toyota sequia system? It comes with dual push and bull efan!!?
5- why you didn't use another after market efan controller?
6- can this volvo efan controller take the high amp? (Caused by the efan start?)

For one that is not my fan controller you circled on the fan that is the factory chevy waffer fuse. The fuse blew when I put my second battery in(positive cable hit the bottom of the battery tray).That's why it looks that way. Pic was took before I chanced it.
Secondly the truck stays cool 180-185 degrees even with air on. Guarante what you know not what you guess.

Also the fans job is to push or pull outside cool air through the radiator ( depending on where the fan is mounted). If my fan is pulling enough cfm to cool the coolant before it reenter the engine than its doing a damn good job.
