Is this $0.25 cooling fan Mod possible on our trucks???

[Rice Eater]

I found this on lxforums when I used to have my Magnum. Can anyone figure out how to do this on our trucks? I haven't popped open the fuse box yet to have a look- nor would I know what relay to try this on. Any insight would be much appreciated. I am only looking to do this at the track between runs....should only need about 15 min w/ the fan on to get back down to about 160 degrees.

Here is the thread on lxforum:

Our fans are hydraulic not electric, It isn't as simple as hooking up a jumper on the relay to 'kick them on', BUT stingray just posted a thread on how to override the computer and get them to turn on...

If you want a fan that works while the vehicle is off, then you need an electric fan, since ours runs off the power steering fluid, the vehicle has to be running...
