Re: electric fans

You can adapt the Flex-a-Lite 7.3 fan to work pretty easily. However, if you will be towing or driving on the street hard daily, the factory fan is the way to go.

Re: electric fans

From what I've read on this topic when it has come up, the general agreement was that electric fans would be good for a drag truck. For any other use, it was not worth the money, and could potentially cause cooling problems under certain situaitons. Other than a really small improvement in the 1/4 mile, I don't think an electric fan would gain you much of anything.

Re: electric fans

The factory Visctronic works very well - comes on whens it's needed, shuts up when it's not. If only everything in our lives worked this way...
