I'll keep that it mind if these fans don't pan out. I was advised on Nico forums a couple years back to not even bother with the aftermarket clutches.

Are suggesting aftermarket? I thought OEM was the route to go with the clutch?

I know. Damn thing cost me 200 bucks last time I bought one. But sure enough it is staying engaged and you can see where some of the oil has leaked out around the shaft. And now add the price of a fan blade on to that. Pissed me off. And I only have 175k on it.

So what could be done about a shroud?

No, there isn't a shroud. I had read that the stock fan pulled 3000 cfm at 5k engine speed. I figured that 2850 at idle to 3k rpm would be sufficient. I don't off-road and there is no towing package, so I have no plans for high rpm low speed applications. I was most certainly worried about August here in Arkansas. I had read posts from others with smaller fans get by just fine, and It looked like I would too until I closed my hood lol. The reason I wanted to do the efans is because my OEM clutch I replaced back in 2015 is on its way out again. And I found cracks in the blade this time. A new OEM clutch and fan are expensive if all I am going to get out of the clutch is 2 years.

My bad, it is the 16749 controller.

My bad, it is the 16749 controller.

My controller is adjustable. I monitored my obd tool until it said the temp was 190, then turned the dial until the fans come on. Maybe I gave the wrong part number,I am away from my vehicle. I pushed the probe through from the engine bay out about two inches below the top hose.

Hello everyone! I recently bit the bullet and decided to do an electric fan conversion on my 02 pathfinder 4x4. I installed a proform 67014 "14 fan and a proform 67012 "12 inch fan with a derale 16738 controller. As far as the fans running, they turn on at my setting (190 degrees by my OBD tool.) The A/C override switch works as well. The problem is that when the hood is closed, the fans stay constantly on at idle. Open the hood and the fans run for about 30 seconds, shut off, and then cycle again as advertised. Close the hood, and once the fans turn on they don't shut off. I think the problem is related to the hot air underneath the hood being unable to escape. Anybody else have this problem after their conversion? And if so, how did you fix it?
