Guys you should really try the thing I posted I starts your fan slow so it dont shock your alternator. I use them on everything and have amazing results
Chris I copy and pasted this from the diy sticky maybe they work there. I used the link several years ago and they worked thats when i researched Hughs stuff.
Thanks, I thought the OP was talking about the alternate SPAL fans, not the oem ones, my fault in not following. Yup, it is my recommendation to use the lower amperage fans...there are literally dozens of users on this forum using them for years, with excellent results. No overheating, even in AZ, NV, CA or FL locations. I ran my car in the Eastern WA desert in 95 degree weather with no issues at all. I did not even notice them running any longer than with the oem, higher output fans. What folks need to understand is higher output fans are not making the car any cooler. That is regulated by the thermostat in the cooling system and the thermoswitches that turn on the fan motors. Higher output fans will only cool the car down slightly faster. Once they hit the set temperature, they shut off. As Dave Helms told me (and the SPAL tech), the only possible draw back is the lower output fans may run a few seconds longer, but no one seems to notice any difference. The sealed bearing motors are absolutely going to last longer, and draw less current. I never noticed any difference in the sound...they are all loud in my book.
I did not notice them to be quieter either, although my fans were working fine when i replaced them. Maybe if they were failing they would be louder.
Just tried 30102113 on the LHS and did some testing letting the car idle while stationary. It blew the 30 amp fuse on the fourth cycle. I think part of the problem is that with an efficient fan and the rather simple control logic it is only running for about twenty seconds before shutting off, and then coming back on in less than a minute, which is probably building heat in the fuse. Of some concern is that the table on the Spal box gives a fuse recommendation of 40 amps for this fan. I will see how it goes with a new fuse but I think the alternative with a lower current draw may be a more attractive solution.

I am replacing the SPAL stock fans to the SPAL 30102049, but it doesn't have the Delphi connector so i need to put a new one on. I know the connector is a Delphi Metric-pack 280 series but when i checked the old connector there is some connector holder on it, where can i get a new one? see the picture i attached Image Unavailable, Please Login
