F5 sounds like you think I am too picky
, really just the opposite BUT I want what I paid for and when you spend over 100k for something it should be right and not dangerous.
I feel like a total fool at this point for being done this way. The funny thing is when I went to get the truck he begged and pleaded for me to leave it 3 more days and he said it would be complete. He had 9 years, His time is over.

I think you have the truck in good hands now.

I know a guy who can fix it real easy like
From what Matt explained to me the fan controller I bought was OK but the problem was if it ever went out then I was stuck where I was at unless a Summitt or a Jegs was near by.
What he did was use two relays to control it. We inserted a temperature switch into the block 170*/185* degree on and off switch. This controlled when the fan comes on. Previously it came on when the ignition switch came on, now it will come on at a certain temp and go off at a certain temp. So if I have been driving and stop the fan will continue to run until it cools down and then shuts off. The great thing about it is he used a common, everyday relay that can be found at any parts store and even Walmart if need be, so if it does go out then I can easily find a part to fix it pretty much anywhere.
Installed a wire to the A/C compressor so that when the A/C comes on the fan comes on.
Pretty simple once you see it work.
Luckily I have a friend like Matt to help me on this , too bad I didn't know him a lonng time ago.
