Looking for more HP and increased fuel savings and am not dissapointed. Took a bit to get the old fan off but what an easy installation. Thermestat settings were perfect. Never goes over 1/2 heat range and feels like its got more low end tourque. Ran 3 full tanks of gas so far and averaging 2.5 to 3 mpg better fuel economy. Actually hit 18mpg combination of city and hwy. Normally over the past 3 years I was in the 15mpg range. Like how it heats up quicker and can barely hear it when it turns on

After I got the right kit for my truck, the install was realy straight forward. My kit was missing two insulated female spade terminals, but I had extra. You will need a multimeter or a power probe. A/C blows colder for sure. A little noisey but not major. Was worried about the power draw with my custom stereo, but so far have no problems.

first off this is a very nice well built unit it installed very nice with no problems.they sent me a 272 insted of a 278 but after calling the manufactior the 272 has been up graded to fit all super dutys after I opened it noticed the instuctions say so. I'm still checking the gas milage but so far looks like 1.5 miles per gal better.

Nice kit. Hardest part was removing the original fan from the pulley before replacing with the flexalite kit. Took about an hr all in to replace the fan. Wiring was very easy to hook up - I used a 12v line from an unused relay in the fusebox as an ignition control line. Keeps engine as cool as before easily. Fan speed changes depending on temp. Fan runs for a short time after ignition turned off. Says it is for hemi but does fit the 4.7 without mod. Leaves plenty of working space in engine bay.

Excellent product. Haven't noticed the mpg gain yet, but giddy up is great. For price and quality, heck of a buy. Install took about 2 hrs but the instructions weren't the issue, just the OEM parts you have to work around. Would recommend this to anyone!

The Flex-a-lite 282 is a great fit in the truck. The elictrical install was straight forward with no complications. The truck gets 1-2 mpg better than it did, but the main thing i like best is that there's no clutch type fan any longer. There's a lot less wear and tear on teh water pump now.

the Flex light Xtream 15 inch fan w/ temp control comes with a AC relay. Does that relay protect a non AC car?
Answered by Nathan S. — Feb 04, 2013 9:51 AM
Hi, The A/C relay only turns the fan on when the A/C inside of the cab is activated. It's meant to compensate for the additional engine load when the A/C compressor is in operation. If you don't have an A/C system, an A/C relay would't provide any additional benefit to you.

Why is there a "Primary" and "Auxiliary" fan to choose from? I haven't inspected the cooling system in my Ranger, but there is only one fan isn't there?

what temperatures do you have that the fans run at for 1993 Chevy S10 with a 4.3 ,ac,auto
Answered by Nathan S. — Jul 30, 2012 11:02 AM
Every engine will run a bit differently and you may have to adjust your fan controller to compensate. Simply adjust the controller until the temperature lands within the normal operating range when warmed up on your instrument cluster.

I am interested in purchasing one, but I want to know what controls the fan motor. Is there a sensor or something that need connecting to the engine or what?
Answered by Murphy J — Mar 03, 2012 5:27 PM 2000 Toyota Tundra
A temperature probe is placed by the upper radiator hose in the radiator, that is attached to the control module, where there is an adjustment screw that controls the fans to come on at the temperature you want.
