So, let me kick this back off with a few additions that have made life much better for the Junker. First and foremost going back to August of 2016, I had ordered and installed some sweet aftermarket fans!
They move something stupid - like 2750 CFM. It keeps her cool unless it gets above 95 degrees outside, then she starts to creep up to the danger zone (though, if I'd keep from getting dirt in the radiator slats I'd probably be doing a little better). To run this thing, I needed some fuses and relays. I took a look at all the aftermarket kits and fuse boxes, etc, etc... but they all were expensive and were either not straight forward, way beyond my capabilities, or way overkill for what I needed. So I went to the junk yard and got a fuse box out of a 93 Ford Explorer
I can't tell you how nice this fuse box was to work with! It was like playing with legos! All the blocks and cells are removable, there are a ton of little jumpers all pre-made that you can re-arrange, it was just a piece of cake and easy to deal with! Here is what it looked like all taken apart:
Once it was apart, I just put the cells back in that I wanted (cells that hold relays) and then picked through the wires I removed and rewired them for my relays. The best part, I just used the relays from the Explorer to run them!
So I have my two fuses, then they are jumped from the backside using the stock wires to the relays, which then go on to switches under the dash and to the fans. It even left me with room for 4 more relays! Going to have to find things to fill those empty slots with....
I know I have a picture somewhere of the fusebox installed under the hood, but for the life of me I can't find it. I'll get out and get a pic here in the next few days.
Another something or other that got added at some point was expanded metal over the rear window. I'm very happy with it!
