Re: Time delay module
Hi Alex,
here's the wiring diagram of what I did.
The fan doesn't come on all that much more than standard.
As you can see the "trinerary" A/C fan switch (It has high pressure shut off, low pressure shut off and a fan control switches built in to the one unit mounted on the A/C drier unit) turns the fan on when the pressure builds up in the A/C system. If you are driving at speed on the highway, the airflow should be enough to keep the A/C prssures down.
When you are stationary or slugging up a hill in Low lock, then it will likely kick the fan in a bit more.
Whislt they are not shown in the above pic,I have not removed the fan cut off micro switch or TDM from the system, so that will still cut off the fan at wide open throttle or for fording.
I don't expect that this set up will lead to any "issues" such as you have described.
Cheers

So I guess that makes the rest of us Hosers, Eh Jason?

So that is what they look like prior to self destruction!

Yes, but mine has a lot of cobwebs on it now fromlack of working on it in the fall.

Re: Time delay module
Hi Jason,
It looks like you are missing the long radiator support bracket with shims. I may have those bits.

One of the Aussie owners tried as well with different combinations of electric and thermostatic engine driven fans and eventually succeeded in blowing headgaskets ))
Because most of the Humvee's here in Oz are M1026's another of the Aussie owners tried different combinations of top and bottom grilles, fans etc and found that the best combination of grilles was the open mesh M998 in the front and the armoured grille in the top which tended to force incoming air down through the stack.
We all run the standard setup, TDM, Cadillac valve and standard fan clutch and the engines all run ok.
The biggest improvement you can make is to fit a 4 speed/4L80E trans, the engine revs slower so not as much heat, uses less fuel and when the fan does come on it is much quieter due to lower engine revs.
In 25 deg C ambient I can drive for hundreds of kilometres without the fan coming on at all.
I've never had a problem with a TDM, burnt out a Cadillac valve once (they don't like reverse polarity )) and have changed the fan clutch once (due to constant leaks) but I've done over 150k miles now with no problems despite regular engine bay hose downs with Truck wash and the pressure washer.
Hi Peter, Is the combination of electric fans and thermostatic engine driven fans mentioned a viscous clutch fan or a military clutch fan? If it was military, I was under the impression that the mil fan's failure mode was for the fan to be moving air or can the Time Delay Module fail with the fan not moving air?

Re: Time delay module
What was the outcome, and how did you mount the electrics to the stack?STUDENT-DRIVER wrote: What I want to do is to start a long term test over one year.
What I want to do is:
Installing 4 electrical fans which I'll have to switch on manually always 2 together.
After I've installed the 4 fans I'll install a data logger the should log the following parameters:
- ambient temperature
- engine temperature
- speed
- activation of the hydraulic fan
- activation of 2 electric fans
- activation of the other 2 electrical fans
I'll drive my truck over a period of one year and switching the electrical fans on and off in all different speed and temperature configurations.
After this year I'll analyze the data as to develop a self working control operated by a microcontroller that keeps the engine temperature as low as possible.
But something I recognized is that even the 2 fans keep the fan on at offroad operation...
