See this thread, read all the posts. It will be slightly different for your truck since it is a smaller engine and the fan can be a little lower in it's CFM rating, but you should be able to make the difference. There are other ways of running it, but I am a big fan (no pun intended) of the Imperial control. http://broncozone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13313

Good luck,

If you don't have the cash for a control, then why not wait. What is wrong with the mechanical fan that you presently have?

At a minimum you need a fuse, and a heavy duty full time relay to control the fan. The HD relay would be picked by switched 12V when the key is on. See the modified diagram attached.

Good luck,

Its a truck I'm Restoring. I don't have a car so I ride the city bus to work and i have to pay expensive rent.(Man I wish I never turned 18 lol) I don't know allot of people to give me rides but the truck I'm working on is worth it. I picked it up for real cheap $450. Its an 86 Ford Ranger with 31 inch tires that is in spectacular condition it has a great paint job, flawless interior. I mean the whole thing is flawless expect for one thing it came in pieces. Pieces like door panels, handles, seats, dash, wiring harnesses( all of them), engine(only has 22,000 miles on it) 5 speed Mazda mannul transmission(13,000 on it). They were all in the cab of the truck and in the bed. It also came with nice 31 in monster looking tires and rims. I have to save money because I'm barely making it and i have ride the bus and all i have is my little lap top and the neighbors internet. so every little amount counts!! the only thing left out of the deal was it didn't COME WITH MECHANICAL FAN OR A FAN AT ALL!!

I found an electric fan for $12(it will work it has the correct cfm) My friend says I'm crazy for going trough this much work but with all things considered low mileage, looks brand new, smells good looks and i will have a very reliable great looking truck for cheap!!!! well maybe I am crazy but I love Ford Rangers and bronco 2s so who cars!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
