    Electric Fan Conversion, 2001 Suburban 2500

    I know this topic comes up quite a bit but I haven't found the definitive answer I'm looking for. As this title says I am doing an eclectic fan conversion on my 2001 Suburban 2500, I have read through the forums using the search function and have come up with a lot of information but nothing for my particular vehicle. I have seen talk about updating to the 12212156 OS but am not sure how that would work for my 6.0/4l80e, I have also read about patching using 00-02 f-body or y-body as well as 05-06 c/k. Any information would be greatly appreciated before I dive into this conversion.

    You'll need to build a harness that can be triggered by AC also. A 2001 does not have a high side A/C pressure sensor so the computer isn't able to turn it on with A/C

    We make a kit that blends the low, high controls from the ECM with a on/off trigger from the A/C compressor. When A/C comes on it bumps the fans to the next highest setting.. so if off they go to low, if low they go to high. etc.

    Does your harness allow the fans to turn off after a defined speed like it can be set up in the tune or will it continually run when the a/c is on? I would assume the relay portion of your harness is similar to a factory 05-06 harness but you also include a sub-harness that appears to have an additional trigger wire and an ic of some sort to control it, is this sub harness available by itself as I already have the fans and harness.
