I’m going to try. I had it since August so 3 months. I’m going to contact the person I purchased the controller from to see if it is capable or if they have one capable

I’ve been doing research and it appears the fan runs off a canbus signal not true pwm. I’m not finding much info on the ram trucks but it appears the jeeps have got it working but still tied into the tipm for controlling it. The few people who have tried tuning it in or swapping parts have been unable to get the parts to work. Since I’m currently trying to move my budget is cut on parts so back to stock for now3 months of use is way too soon to fail. Keep us posted on your brushless fan project.
Are you talking about a controller for the newer style 2014 and up fans? If so there were quite a few people interested a while back. I was working with someone on producing a ram specific module but have since stopped as it became to time consuming for me so I stuck with this simple pwm style speed controller instead of a canbus style module.I just came across this post while doing my own research. My company deals with SPAL fans and we have our own CAN BUS to PWM controller, as well as the SPAL temp sensor with built in electronics. We use this particularly in Ag machines, but I’m looking to adapt to my truck as the V6 conversion is too loud. If anyone is interested how it goes, let me know.

Something that would communicate with the truck canbus or full standalone? Full standalone would be awesome as long as temp settings are adjustable. I have a 2014 model v6 pwm brushless fan in my storage I would love to use. If your controller would work like my current setup that would be awesome. My current fan is a 2012 model with a pwm based speed control for brushed style fans.That’s exactly what I’m talking about, as I haven’t been able to find anything specific for the Ram. I have access to the components, I just need to do some programming changes.

This would communicate with truck’s canbus and then be able to adjust temps as well with software. I would be able to offer a stand alone sensor that has a fixed temperature sensor as well.

Are you on Facebook? If so you should look up “high performance rams” and post there. That’s where you will find a more people that may be interested. If you can get one together and working I would be interested as well. The one I was trying for used the truck canbus to cycle on and off for ac on as well as speed adjustment based on engine demand

What about mounting it under the pass seat Khris,looks like it should fit,and it'd be a little more accessable.New location coming soon for my fan controller. Not necessarily the best at ease of access but definitely the driest location I can find that this fits. Been running on the stock computer to run the fan recently due to floridas wet weather and the addition of my snorkel has pushed me to remove the controller until I found a better spot. This is the best I could come up with. Now to order automotive wire to rerun all my controls and the feed for the fan. I need to find a wrecked truck and get the truck side fan wiring harness to wire into my truck for a super easy install
Thought about under the driver seat even but figured if I’m off-roading and get water in the cab that’s the first place to get wet so higher is better.What about mounting it under the pass seat Khris,looks like it should fit,and it'd be a little more accessable.
Yes if you plan on sinking it that deep,under the seat wouldn't be a good place. Some days i worry about you Khris,lolThought about under the driver seat even but figured if I’m off-roading and get water in the cab that’s the first place to get wet so higher is better.
Another thing I’m contemplating is how I’m going to tap for the ac to turn the fan on. The old way I had it anytime the compressor ran the fan would kick to full speed. If the ac is on max it would run the entire time the truck is on especially now in the heat of summer. I’ve noticed since I’m back running on the stock computer that the fan hardly runs unless I’m stopped. May tap the feed from the tipm that feeds the fan to tell my controller the ac is running instead. All speculation. I’ll check to see if there’s a fuse I can use a fuse tap for the acYes if you plan on sinking it that deep,under the seat wouldn't be a good place. Some days i worry about you Khris,lol
