2005 e-fans installed

[ktg]

I bought a set of 2005 electric fans off ebay and got a wiring harness from Nelson Performance. I installed them today and it was pretty easy. Took off the top half of the fan shroud (2 bolts). Tapped on a wrench with a hammer to get the stock fan off. The bottom half of the shroud then came out. Dropped in the new e-fans and bolt them up (2 bolts, different holes than stock). Wiring harness has 2 connectors that go to positive in the little red + box, 2 that go to ground near the alternator, 1 that taps into a wire in the harness next to the alternator, 1 that goes in the PCM slot 42 (Nelson did my tune and already had the fans turned on), and the 2 connectors for the fans. The PCM connection was a little time consuming but it was still less than a 2 hour job.

Awesome man, I'll be doing the same upgrade soon, only I'll be installing the 34" radiator and a 160* t-stat at the same time. Glad to hear it went smoothly!

Is GM putting electric fans on the 2005's? How do they compare to the flex-a-lites?

Both pull air. Both cost a fortune. But only one is good at frying fan controllers and harnesses!!
