Installing E-Fan Tonight

If I had to do it again...I would wire it to a switch or the purple wire behind the HVAC. Yes, I have seen the light!
Some info here about wiring to a on-off-on switch.

Well, I'm finally finished. It took me a while as I am a stupid perfectionist and I work slow. It's not completely finished as I would like to mount the fan in the stock fan shroud eventually, however, it is working. I ended up connecting the 12v switch to the radio and the green wire to the purple wire both behind the radio. The difference in noise level is drastic to say the least. The only noise I can hear is my exhaust now. I'll post more pictures after I mount the fan in the shroud.

Thank you! I can't get over how much quieter my truck is now. I haven't adjusted the temperature potentiometer yet, however, my truck stayed a little below halfway across the temperature gauge on my way to work today. I don't think the fan even came on, although I can't be sure until I wire up a led. Speaking of which, does anyone know which wire to put the led on so that I know when the fan is in operation. I just had my differential rebuilt so I don't want to get on it to find out if it has more power. It does, however, run really smooth. The only thing I'm worried about is the plastic clips that are holding the fan to the radiator. I will be mounting it to the stock fan shroud soon enough. One more thing. I couldn't get the temperature probe to stick in the fins of the radiator so after it was insterted I applied some silicone caulking around the base of the probe to make it stick. I only put a very small amount on. Do you think that will hurt anything?
