They work amazing but they are 40/60 amp fans and i am having a problem finding a alternator to run the fans and the a/c so if anybody can help with that or have ideas that would be great and i hope that this will solve my exhaust problem to if there are linked. i did the math and i need a alternator with a minimum of 160 amps and a single wire setup. thanks to all those that helped me diag the exhaust

I am curious as to where your sound went, and how it came back. Something is still wrong if you need an after market fan to keep it from overheating.

I did some reading after reading this thread, and discovered that deposits accumulated in the water jackets in your engine may be the cause of mysterious overheating. Maybe a complete flushing could be the answer.

i am running a 4000 cfm derale set up with the stock 105 amp alternator. it is a bit of a draw at idle with the lights on, but my idle is low. you shouldnt have any issues with a 140 amp alternator, just dont sit a red light in reverse with the high beams on with the a/c cranked while the radio is full blast and putting the windows up and down while the four ways are on with the door open...
