Ok so started to tear down the truck and I think I found out y my efans weren't working right the guy I bought the truck from or who he had install it did something wrong and for some reason the capacitor for the stereo was connected to it and he must of melted one of the relays and replaced it and part of the power wire was melted.

If any one can tell me if these are the right relays and has any instructions or a diagram so I can install this the right way?

used the stock fuel pump rubber support to help the aeromotive fuel pump fit nice so it don't move around

Mounting the relay to the frame worked out great! Used the bolt that sticks through the frame for the stock fuel filter mount and there was a hole in the frame at just the right spot for the ground wire. Sanded it down and bolted it.

wires routed up in to the engine bay but not connected at this time still waiting on some parts to start putting things back in
