Predator Fan Settings w/ 180* T-Stat

Post by joefrog »

Just trying to get a uniform answer on this question. I live in Texas and getting ready to install the T-Stat since I just purchased the Predator. Does anybody know what all the fan settings should be with this T-Stat? I am running version 8r20 on the Predator which I believe puts the fan settings back to stock if I'm correct. Any help on this is greatly appreciated guys. Thanks again.

Everyone has their own preferences, ther is no right or wrong.
Several people have posted their personal preferences here, and on LXforums.

In general, if the t-stat is cooler by 20*, you'll want to lower the fan settings by about the same.

You may have read my reply to a similar thread elsewhere, but FWIW, I'll repeat it here. My 180*F t-stat has coolant temperature hovering around 185*F.
DS reports that the temperature range from fan-on to fan-off is 10*F. So, to allow the low speed fan to actual shut off sometime, (to prevent the manytime reported continuously running fan) I set my LS temperature at 197*F and the MS and HS temperatures at 207*F. I witnessed my fan shutting off at 189*F at engine idle after it had been up to 204*F.
"It works for me!"
