electric fan
« on: Feb 07, 2007, 04:26:06 PM »
i know the black magic fan from flex-a-lite($220) is on of the best but is it worth the money? i just want an electrec fan to save gas. would it be better to get a fan from kregan($80). the black does come with thermo. sensor.

thanks for the great link!! so what did it take to run your radiator in the back? i have been thinking about it for a long time i just cannot figure out what to use as  far as tube from the font to the rear? spend the money and use like HERW or some 1 1/2 or 1/4 exhaust? i like the rear of your truck so do you run a switch or is it constant? and what is the fourth post for?

nice battery mount.. i like were it is :thumbs:

Listen, if you are going to go e-fan, then please at least make sure it will be as reliable as possible by using a programmable computer controlled thermostat.

The Flex-a-Lite Black Magic (400-165) is 100% absolutely worth every penny.  Adjustable thermostat, truck loads of air movement, shroud, and super sexy.  The tight shroud is what really makes the difference when comparing against standard electric fans.  Settle for something cheap and you'll be pissed later...
