Ok, point made.
For the record, I can NOT feel the air moving into the grill by standing in front of it.
And I was wondering if the shroud would do anything or not. Seems it does!
speaking of efans....

Get some more fans.

Haha.. Funny guy! Two are good enough for me.
It did occur to me though that I do live in a generally colder environment, so perhaps what works for me may not work for others. IDK.

I didn't think so! LOL If I couldnt feel anything (with my 17 fans) there is no way you could have! LMAO

Install one of these in the hood or something.
Planning on getting to the drag strip, next Wednesday night. I expect to work on the 60' times with the new 4500 rpm TC, using 4 wheel drive. Should be interesting.

haha Del, looks sick!
Also, is it normal to feel warm air right outside the grille when the fans are on? i think one of mine is wired wrong. Ive always thought that from the beginning but these things still keep the temps down.. idk weird..

I can’t feel any warm air in front of the grill, only feel a breeze going in, nothing coming out. You should revisit that wiring.
I didn’t use any of Flex-a-lite’s wiring or controls. I did check polarity before hooking them to the relays to be sure they were pulling. I have a separate 40 amp relay on each fan. I plan on hooking up a “hi / low” switch at some point for one or two fans. I want a switch that selects, left, right or both. That way for the spring and fall, I can just run one fan and wear them evenly by switching the duties every other day, from left to right.

You are probably feeling radiant heat or the wind blowing some surface heat back at you.

You will need to crop it down a bit.
Fans start at 60% speed with controller
I just realized that I am feeling more air movement on my flex-a-lite fans, than some of you guys, because they come on at 100%. I was reading the instruction page again from Flex-a-lite. Bottom of page 2 “The variable speed control has new features”.
If you use the Flex-a-lite control. It always starts the fans at 60% and will not go to 100% unless the temp rises another 10 degrees over starting temp.
I am not using their controller. My fans are wired right to a couple of relays and they get the full 12 volts when they go on.

Thats probably why you said there pretty loud too. Mine you cant hear running with the truck running, if the trucks off and they stay on for a minute then yea you can hear em. Crazy. Del, when you hook stuff up to 12v, where do you go in the engine bay to get your source? It says directly to the battery, but when a ton of stuff goes straight to the battery terminals, it gets pretty messy..

Just use one of the aux power taps with the **** fuse on the under hood block. For the flexalite setup it is a great power supply solution or branch of the battery to some barrier strips for power taps.

Mine are so damn loud, when engine up to temp and AC is on, that ppl operating drive through radios ask me to turn them off while placing a order.

Tell them it takes to long to spool up your turbine engine again and it will just slow down the drive thru.
