My 1990 V3500 came equipped with the small (9"?) electric pusher fan mounted in front of the radiator. My fan clutch fagged out a while back so I pulled the mechanical fan and shroud off and hot wired the small fan. (This works remarkably well, while I don't drive the truck a lot or in traffic jams, I think this stands as a testament to the four core thirty two inch wide radiator.) The factory temperature switch for the fan is broken (physically damaged) so I have the wire spliced onto a ground stud.
I picked up a Volvo fan that I started putting in today (battery died on the drill and I called it a day before finishing.) So now to the nitty gritty of my preponderance. Can I use the factory cooling fan wiring to spin the Volvo fan?
And a question specific to the Volvo fan: can I use the wiring on fan going through the fan controller, or do I need to go around the fan controller?
