I installed a 180 thermostat today and went to change the fan settings but can't seem to find where on my Diablo I-1000 tuner. Is it not possible with this tuner or am I just missing it somewhere?

Should just do it on its own?

I don't have a 180 t stat anymore but when I did the stat would open up at like 185-188 an stay running there. I didn't set anything just put the thing in. Later on I added a efan an just stuck the probe in the rad an was good to go

I still have the stock fan which I assume is mechanical not electric, but not sure why he told me to change those settings then... I can see that it's def running cooler on my temp gauge in the dash.

Yeah you should have a clutch fan...so no settings. Lol You'll like that thermostat though, my truck never gets above 195 or so, even in traffic.

Lol yea it never hit me that he said efan settings til I started the thread, not sure why he thought I had a efan but no biggy. Yea I already like how low it kept the temp on my way home from my dads garage. Thanks for the input guys.

You have to go into modify parameters before you lead the tune. I think mine are set around 193ish so your fan isn't running all the time.
You have both fans , electric and clutch. You can convert to a bigger fan and delete the clutch fan like many people do. Myself included. Also a good time to do an u/d pulley.

I went into modify parameters and couldn't find anything. I emailed Sean and he sent me tune revision so I'm guessing that's all I needed.

Hopefully someone with an intune can chime in, I would think all the same options exist. I thought the only difference was monitoring...

Yea I checked the adjustable parameters again and couldn't find anything on it. But on another note my engine temp is staying right at 182/183 even at sit still idle
