I would think so.
That is as long as you do not have one of them big boom boxes.:grinyes: :lol:
How many amps does the fans pull?
Or just add the amps they pull to your standard alternator it came with.
I was just wondering if you are going to e-fans to save on HP.
If so it might be interesting to have a electrical engineer to figure out how many HP a alternator uses to put out the extra amps needed to run the E-fans.
In years past we built a alternator tester at the shop and found out it needed 5-10 hp motor to run a alternator at full charge.
Something to think about in your spare time.:grinyes: :grinno: :lol:
Good Luck

I have 3 electrics on my old blazer . Two set by thermostat on front , and one large puller on the back and they don't reduce my voltage from 14.1 or change the idle with the extra load (with carb) . Body lift required conversion . The 3rd was overkill but I had it sitting around . Rob
