Aftermarket radiator fans

Vtec_Killer · 09-07-2005, 01:34 PM

well, I didn't put mine in because I was told that I'd have to remove both fans behind the radiator and that one of them is for the AC. Has anyone here put an aftermarket on? Does the AC still work? I'd hate to put this fan on my 4Runner

to fit the fan. With the rad support out, it should be apparent what you need to cut. The AC fan stays. I am very pleased with my 16" spal and the flex-a-lite controller.

There is no need to remove either of the other two fans (1 AC, 1 AUX)
