I also ran into a problem with trying to find somewhere to tap into the block for the thermostat so I had to call Derale and order another part that I had to get from different vendor. it was a push through rod that went into the fins of the radiator. It works but I had a hard time trying to get adjusted for the right temperature. I found that with the way that I have it set up, I used the optional wire and ran it to a switch, this allows me to turn the fan on till the motor had ran for awhile and heats up the rod. if I where to let it turn on by itself it would over heat before the first fan would turn on. But with that said the controller with the 2 fan set up is the only way to go.

Nice dual fan controller. About the only one on the market that will take care of 2 fans at 25 amps each. I installed Derale dual fan assembly 16927. This is my second controller D16789. Had the first one 3 years and it did just fine until I shorted it out by accident. Very pleased with it. Rec'd this one promptly as I have all my orders from etrailer. The quality is always great. I have a class 5 trailer hitch and load leveling system. All work well and still look great after 3 years. Thanks again George J and etrailer for quality products!

I highly recommend this Derale Dual Fan Thermostat Control. I also recommend the Derale Dual Fans. I have installed them on a 6.0 Chevy Avalanche and I eliminated the clutch fan. I live in South Texas and the temperature this summer has been over 100 every day all summer long. This combo has worked flawlessly and never got over the temperature it was set on. I drive about 300 miles daily. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

See what our Experts say about this Derale Accessories and Parts
- Thermostat Recommendation for Use with Derale 27" Dual High-Output, Electric Radiator FanThe Derale 27" Dual High-Output, Electric Radiator Fan-and-Shroud Assembly # D16837 that you referenced does not come with wiring but with a thermostat kit like the # D16789 you'd be set. This can control both of the fans and wire in to the AC system too if needed.
view full answer... - Speed Shut Off of Derale Adjustable Fan-Control Thermostat # D16789The Derale Adjustable Fan Control Thermostat you referenced, part # D16789 will not shut off at a certain vehicle speed, but at an adjustable fluid temperature. The temperature at which the fan turns on is adjustable between 150-240 degrees Fahrenheit. The fan automatically shuts off once the fluid cools by 10 degrees. So, say you set the thermostat to turn the fan on once the coolant reaches 190 degrees. At 190, it would turn on and run until the coolant reached 180 degrees.
view full answer... - How Does Derale Adjustable Fan-Control Thermostat with Thread-In Radiator Probe # D16789 WireYou'll want to also get the Derale Dual-Fan Adjustable Fan-Control Thermostat with Thread-In Radiator Probe # D16789 to wire up the Derale Hyper-Cool Extreme Remote Cooler Assembly w/ Fan # D15876 that you referenced. The fan of the kit you mentioned just has a power and ground wire so you'll need the controller to tell the fan when it needs to come on and off. If you check out the attached install instructions for the # D16789 you'll see how to wire it to the fan and install the probe.

I would recommend having the vehicle looked over by your GMC dealership. What I would recommend is adding a combination transmission and oil cooler, as well as a cooling fan. This will cool the transmission fluid, the engine oil, and engine. For this, I would recommend the Derale Combination Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler, part # D15903. You...
view full answer... - Is Derale Dual Electric Radiator Fan A Variable SpeedThe Derale Dual High-Output, Electric Radiator Fan, part # D16825, is a single speed system and both fans operate at the same time. There are options available for control of the fans you may be interested in. The first is to use a switch like the Derale Lighted On/Off Switch, part # D16740. This switch is a simple toggle switch that allows you to easily turn your fans on or off. If you wish to install an automatic system, I recommend part # D16789. This will turn the fan on or off...
view full answer... - Fan Recommendation for a 1979 Ford F150 with a 460 Cubic Inch EngineAs long as you have the clearance, the Derale Radiator Fans # D16826 that you referenced would be a good choice for your 1979 Ford with a 460 cubic inch motor. This unit can pull up to 4,000 cfm and should work well for cooling your vehicle. I attached a picture that shows the dimensions of this setup for you to compare with the size of your radiator. You might also be interested in purchasing a Derale Dual-Fan Adjustable Fan-Control Thermostat # D16789 to allow you to select when the...

The 16789 Derale Adjustable Dual-Fan Control Thermostat - Thread-In Probe, does the thread in probe go into where the drain plug would be on the radiator? Mine is on the drivers side bottom facing the engine. 1970 Monte Carlo. That would be the only threaded hole I have on my radiator. Thank you for your help.
