…among the rest of the whole 9 yards of deleting the AGS and the addition of either a 180° or a 185° thermostat just despite that I do have lifetime warranty….lol… but I do have a question about what will happen when I go to delete the factory condenser fan being that the new aftermarket electric fan will have to go in its place.
Being that mine is a 2018 that has a security module crap on it, I think the best way to go about this would be to just get an aftermarket electric fan that has its own thermostat on it so that I can set the on and off temperature to whatever I want it to be without having to use that Alpha OBD thing or whatever and whether or not it will use the same electrical connector as the OEM condenser fan… which, I wouldn’t think it would because of the fact that it won’t get any power to that plug until the engine temperature reaches 220° so if the new electric fan hooks up to the truck in its own way other than from that electrical connector that the condenser fan used, will it any codes if the computer doesn’t sense that fan?
Also, after running basically 20 to 25° cooler all the sudden than what it supposed to, that won’t cause a light over time, will it?
I haven’t decided which fan to go with if it’s one of those with the larger single fan or the smaller dual fan. At one point tho, I thought about just buying the same OE Mopar fan that the little V6 uses but I’m not so sure I want to go that route because of the fact that even after I change the thermostat and remove the AGS, that fan won’t kick on until the temp sensor reads 220° and I’m not sure how you would change that to come on sooner if it would be via alpha OBD or anything else.
