Isn't that the point if the diode?

If put it the wrong way you won't be able to turn your high beam off.

It's basically an electrical check valve, allows it to flow one direction, probably would make it so you had no control over your lights lol just on all the time

i got a CAI strictly becasue i hate all that plastic under the hood, but that one should add a noticeable amount of power

 

[Bonecollector]

I'm hoping so, bring my fuel mileage up a bit too haha

that pic makes me want to get on my efan swap bad, i love the extra room under the hood

So happy the truck has them stock, I'm thinking my 2002 needs an E-fan, I think the best cheapest route for a new fan is go to a parts store with your radiator measurements and order some flexalites, or you can pick an pull a stock one

i still have to do a little research, i know the 05 radiator is bigger then the 2000 radiator so i couldnt just bolt it right up but i want to see if i can make a 05 radiator fit in my 2000 then slap 05 fans on

Measure your rad and compare to 05-06, best way to check, if they are different going to the parts store will work also

05+ rad is 34" inside the tanks 99-04 is 28" inside. But the 05+ fans and radiator will bolt right into 99-04 trucks. The fans will bolt into where your factory radiator is now and there are bolt holes already there for the 34" radiator. But before you do all that you have to get a tune to tell the pcm to turn the fans on and youll have to upgrade from a 105amp alt to at least the 05+ 145amp alt. Someone correct me if that is wrong. I'm in the middle of getting the parts to swap Efans in my 03 silverado. All I have left is the rad,fan harness, and alt.

Can you swap to an 05 computer instead of tune?

I don't think so. But not sure on that. But if you got a custom tune you can do a lot more than just turn the prompt for the e fans. IMO a tune is without a doubt best thing you can do on 99-present vehicles.

 

[Bonecollector]

I don't think the flexalites need a tune, just a thermostat
