Engine fan lock up.
So as the engine gets nice and hot and even hotter the engine fan engages to help cool the engen down...
My question is how can I lock up or engage the fan so that the engine wont have to get hotter for it to engage.
Now I know that its winter and I wont get the engine too hot unless im pulling something crazy so I wont need this feature now but during the summer I would like to engage it so that I wont get water temps up to 225 F or highter... So by having this feature I can keep the temps down but not too low. That would be bad.
This is considering towing not normal driving. Although if the weather is 120 F for normal driving then i would consider engaging the fan. thats if I can do that and not have the truck do it.
This idea is just to have an upper edge on the temps. thats all.
Thanks
