Fan Bypass kit

[Rick92962]

Has anyone put a fan bypass kit on their expedition ! I can't seem to find the plug to tee into for the kit.

Maybe a stupid question, but why would you want to bypass the fan ???

I’m curious as well. I can’t think of any reason one would want to bypass the fan.

Why? There is no reason to do that. As my daddy used to say "that's just something to sell"

It is a fan overide that runs normally then you can turn it on when when needed and run the engine at about 185 .

Ah ok. A tune from Aftermarket Assassins, Gilomen and others does that without the need for a switch, or messing with wiring. They drop the cooling fan on/off temps from 205°/201° to 186°/185° in the ECU. That and a slew of other fixes make an ECU tune well worth doing.

Seems way easier to just run Amsoil Synthetic and not worry about running at 200 instead of 185 !! That way you don't have to watch the temp guage the whole time your riding !!......... Just my opinion

Depends where you ride.

Summers here in southern Nevada run around 106°f to 118°f. If the fan waits until 205°to come on, it’s extremely easy to hit 215°-220° really fast. It’s much better having it come on at a lower temp.

Absolutely !! I thought he meant you had to turn it on manually, I didn't know you could set it to whatever temp you wanted !!! Of course it would be great to set it lower !!!
