    Interested to see the final product/pricing structure, if there is a leveled package for features.

    Stock wheels and suspension. Random "utilitarian" mods featured on this great forum.
    Assuming the manual override will need to be used when kicking in AC unless you're tying into the compressor 'on' signal? I miss electric fans from driving sedans and small SUVs; AC definitely worked better in those especially during idle.

    I've looked at my alternator duty output and its typically around 16-19% with small loads. Of youre pwm it, shouldn't be a huge draw. Great idea though.

    Override command is wided to a in cab switch. Ac condenser struggle will cause thermal creep in the radiator so having a say 160 to 180 start command should handle that issue

    Seems legit. If you can keep it under $1000 it’s tempting. All these people that want it for $500 or less weren’t being realistic in the first place.

    your fluid will last longer, along with prolong the life of your truck. There is zero downside.

    Yeah, I agree 100%. Pretty sure it's set up the way it is, for mpgs. Like I said, it's illogical.

    If you're serious, no.

    If you're joking, then yes, absolutely.

    Are people arguing over whether an E-fan frees up more horse power? I thought that was common sense. I was always shocked at how much HP is used to spin a the fan. It seems counter intuitive, but it's the truth.

    I've been interested in an electric conversion so a DIY kit that can make it happen and give me some more grunt down low would certainly make my list. Thanks for looking into this @Deo taco

    Also OP, if I get this I fully anticipate with powering via a switch pros. Any issues there? Other than override?
