4.From under the vehicle;

a.Remove skid-plate mounted to frame and front cross member.

b.Slowly loosen pet-cock to drain approximately 1 gallon of coolant. Note: Drain coolant to a level below upper end of the radiator hose.

c.Remove lower section of the two piece shroud. It is held on by 2ea. metal clips and 2ea. molded plastic hooks.

d.Remove bottom bolts 2ea. holding fan shroud to radiator side brackets. Save bolts for installation of new shroud.

5.From top side of engine compartment, disconnect radiator hose from top of radiator and secure it out of the way.

6.From the air ducting to intake manifold; remove bolt holding A/C return hose, then secure hose out of the way (see Detail 1). Note: bungee cords or long zip-ties work well.

INSTALLATION OF NEW ELECTRIC FAN SHROUD:

You will want to “pre-wire” fan motor wires & Variable Speed Controller (VSC) to new fan shroud before mounting to vehicle.

11.

Careful planning will save time. Look at the wires

 

 

coming from the motors. The positives from each

 

 

motor will be connected together, as will the nega-

 

 

tives. Drill a ¼” hole through the center brace in the

 

 

shroud to pass one pair of motor wires through.

 

 

(see Detail A).

 

12.

Place both red motor wires side by side and

 

 

smoothly twist together. Completely insert pair of

Detai A

 

wires into one end of a yellow insulated butt connec-

tor. Crimp connector to secure. Repeat with black motor wires to another yellow insulated butt connector (see Detail A). Red motor wire is (+) positive and the black is (-) negative.

13.It is easiest to attach the VSC directly onto the front face of the fan shroud. Using the holes in the controller cover for a template, drill two 5/32” holes. Secure the VSC with the two screws provided.

14.Drill two ¼” holes in the shroud where the thick yellow & purple wires from the VSC will pass through to the back side of the shroud (see Detail B & C).

15.IMPORTANT:

Insert yellow wire into the open end of butt connector containing the two red motor wires

and crimp connector securely. Insert purple wire into the open end of butt connector containing the two black motor wires and crimp connector securely. (see Detail C)

16.Mount bracket #77502 to driver’s side and bracket #77501 to passenger’s side of shroud. Use the hex bolts and washers provided.

17.Lower shroud assembly between engine and radiator and loosely mount at top using OEM bolts to original shroud mounting points. Note: Be very careful not to damage core.

18.From under the vehicle;

a. Attach bottom of shroud using OEM bolts to original shroud mounting points and tighten. b. Reinstall protective skid plate.
