Hello, for those of you with Gen 2 Coyotes who have added an external fan controller and temp sensor. Where did you locate the controller and where did you install the temp sensor for it? Photos if you have them. Thank you in advance. The help is always appreciated. Best regards, Tim

I wrote that exact thing up some time ago (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?30668-GTBradley-s-build-Drive-by-wire-Cruise-Control&p=389136&viewfull=1#post389136).
Let me know if you have any questions, I’d be happy to help.

Nice. Thank you. I saw this a couple years ago and knew I'd be doing this so I purchased the parts (2 years ago) you recommended. I'm just now getting around to implementing it. Just couldn't remember how it all went together. Thank you.

Another option is the Autocool fan controller which is similar to the Maradyne unit.

I had a local shop weld a bung directly into the radiator for the temp sensor. I mounted the controller on the passenger-side F panel near the hood hinge.

This is how I did mine. I have an extra relay added due to having to turn on the fan when my A/C is on.178466178467 I forgot to mention I ended up using a 40MM hose adapter. The 38MM Bradley used was to small for my lower radiator hose. Fyi.

Good to know on the 40mm hose adapter - I just bought the 38mm adapter and plan to use the same Dayco hose as you for the lower radiator connection, so it looks like I'll be hitting up Amazon again....I'll double check the fit before I order the new size.
I'm using the hose that came with the Coyote kit from FFR. I'm running a GEN 1 Coyote. Kit picked up November 2020. I'm not sure what Bradley is using for a lower radiator hose. Happy to help.
