## Description

Used as a primary fan, these economical fans free up wasted horsepower and increase gas mileage by replacing the stock fan ,where applicable. Used as an auxiliary fan pusher, this unit will provide additional cooling in an engine prone to overheating. Also allows greater control of fan operation, e.g. water crossings, long idles, etc.

Review: Pleased with the amount of air this puts out. - Compared to the other cheaper fans, I'm happy with the amount of air this fan moves. My only concern is that I purchased this fan to replace an identical Flex-A-Lite that appeared to have failed. I tested that fan with direct connection to the battery and it would no longer start up. However, that fan for whatever reason started working again. It couldn't be the thermostat switch or relay because I did connect directly to the batter with no luck. I'm not sure why it stopped in the first place (the second identical fan I have is working fine), but I'm going to keep this fan in case it quits again. These are not inexpensive fans but the amount of air they move compared to cheaper fans is worth the money. Now if the original fan continues to work then I'll feel better about the price and as mentioned, keep this one as a backup.
Review: Cool my 1978 Corvette - Installed in a 1978 Corvette has a backup for my flexfan. Work just great. I used to run hot on hot days. Do exacly what i was expecting.

A: Not the motor housing.....

**Q: I have a 1998 bmw z3 2.8 with a dead auxiliary fan.  can i use this as a replacement for the aux fan?**
A: As far as keeping it cool I think it work, I used it in a jeep cj7 with 6 cylinder it worked well just be sure it fits from what I remember it was slightly bigger than what it says. check the junkyards first you never know what's waiting for you !

**Q: What kind of wiring comes with this fan? Do I plug it into the current harness powering the current fan?**
