For my Suby 6 conversion I've installed a twin fan system (from a Dodge) on my radiator. One is single speed (3 wire) and the other is 2 speed (4 wire). Which one of these 2 fans comes on first? Do they both run at times? Will I use the 2nd speed of the 2 speed motor?

I would turn the two speed on first at low speed and then when the temp increased switch it to high speed with the second fan.
On my car I turn on both fans at half speed at 190 degrees and if the temp gets to 200 degrees both fans go to full speed.
This is easy to do using 3 relays. Slow speed is the fans wired in series and then put them in parallel for full speed.

Bob,

I've got three different schematics of this setup, but this is the best I've seen. Yeah, I love the low/high speed function, but oddly enough, it stopped working. My manual fan low/high over ride switches work, so the PCM signal is somehow not getting sent. Time to do some troubleshooting! I'm thinking GM coolant temp sensor failure? I'd like to test it; would you happen to know the resistance values to look for? (slight hijack)

Thanks,

Andys

The GM LS1 sensor (thermistor) is 29k ohms at -20 degress C and 180 ohms at 100 degress C.
