Default After market electric fan

Want to replace my stock electric fan with one that blows more air and wire it up directly to the battery... Could I see some pictures or links to good fans... I do not want to do much or any modification

What makes you want to do that? The stock e-fan does a pretty good job. It's definitely stronger than most any aftermarket one you'll get.

What you should do is wire in a toggle switch so you can operate it when you want and let the PCM do it's job when it wants.

I installed the dirtbound offroad triple fan setup with spahl fans. Hooked up to the PCM using the stock e-fan plug. Works and looks nice but pricey. I'll see if I can get you a pic tonight.

the electric fan does work though... I trashed it and it is a little off balance

The sensor is likely bad.

210 is ideal operating temp. I'd replace the temp switch and not worry about it.

The fan isn't suppose to kick on until 220 anyway.

Because 220 is when it's starting to get warm. It might be 215. But it's not supposed to kick on at 210. 210 is operating temperature.

4.0's need to run in that temp zone. People that think 211 degrees is running hot amuse me. lol
