DCC Fan/Control Combo...which one?

[93GreenLX]

I'm looking to get a kit from http://www.dccontrol.com/


What exactly is the difference between the 3018-M and the 3018-E

I have a 93 2.3<5.0 converted with an 88 5.0 HO

200 amp alternator and will be getting underdrive pullies.

Is there anything ewlse I need to get from them to complete the fan, DCC setup?

Thats the all in one setup right?

The 3018-E uses the same controller and fan as the 3018-M shown above. The controller is mounted external to the shroud and jumper settings. Seem to be the only thing that is different.

hmmmmm, I'm guessing it's inegrated on the other one then.

As said, the M has a potentiometer. If you have the extra cash, I would recommend getting the M. The potentiometer is like a dining room rheostat where you can dim the lighting. I went this route and like being able to easily (from inside the car) fine-tune the system (I turn the target-temp setting up during the winter, down during the summer, etc).

Of course, we'd recommend contacting Brian for his official say-so (though I don't think it's the case here, sometimes there are differences in products which not known to us).


Good luck and enjoy!

Iv'e got the 3018 and i couldnt be more thrilled with it. My cooling problems are in the past. I like the temperature set knob, it makes it easy as hissin said to adjust the temperature on setting. Im my opinion you can't go wrong with a DCC unit.

Good luck

This is what Brain Baskin sent me a while back when I inquired about it:

"There's two main differences, the -M has the internal controller, but also has a potentiometer to adjust the temperature. It looks cleaner and is a bit easier to set up, but the performance is identical."

I'd go with the M as the others alluded too

I hope one day I can get one...
