Fan Switch for 96 LT4
Been looking in websites and catalogs for a 200 deg. on 185 off fan switch for a 96 model. Most of the vendors list them for earlier models but not for a 96. Any recommendations? Does GM have one?

Re: Fan Switch for 96 LT4 (ydphtwl)
They don't list them for 96 cars because all of them are OBDII and the PCM has to be reprogramed to keep the SES light from coming on. I have one on my car but just taped over the light....I'm going to take it off once I get the car tuned and get them to kick on at 160.
I got mine from MidAmerica just follow the instructions that it comes with and it will work.

I hate the fact that it costs us $350 just to change the fan temp switch... :banghead:
1. Buy used HPP for $200
2. Program fans
3. If/when you sell the car, or get a custom program, you can sell the HPP for $200 :D

I had mine done by http://www.pcmforless.com
The reprogrammed the fans (on at 183, off at 170) works GREAT with 160 thermostat. They can also disable VATS, CAGS, raise rev limiter, and tune on the timing/fuel curve.
After the core, it was only about $205 I beleive. It picked my car up between .1 and .2 at the strip and it runs cool now.
