Electric fans?

[arods93snake]

I am looking to install a dual electric fan. I have looked at both the Flexalite and PermaCool. I really like the Perma Cool with its 5900cfm dual fans and direct bolt on case. The Flexalite is in a strong second and that leaves me undecided on which one to get. Are any you guys running electrics? and if so which ones? I know the Mk 7 fan is widely used but it is hard to find. Any suggestions. I am going to be running Hi-Milar hoses, a high volume W/P and a 160 deg. thermostat with water wetter additive. Any ideas or similar setups?

Thanks Arod

If you're on a budget, get the mark VIII, they're about $90 or so on the corral, but they do eat up a lot of power. If you got the dough, drop the money on the flexalite 295's, the cost are their only drawback. Many guys run efans, its one of the very first mods done to a truck. I haven't heard of anyone running a permacool. Also, I think the 160 thermo might be too cold, even for Florida (Living in Hawaii, I've looked into this before). There's a good thread over on the nloc about this.

I use a Flex-a-lite and love it. Never had a problem with over heating. This is the one I use http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html/27inch-electric.html. But I would use the Painless e-fan wiring kit. I use a 180 in my truck and thats still to cool for the most part. Just use the stock 195* and drill a small hole in it to help the air escape.

I run the Flrx a lite 295. only drawback is it is heavy compared to like a 210. but it definately does the job!

I have the Flex-a-lite 210 that I took off my '94 that I'd like to sell. I have the orig. adj. temp. sender and the Painless e-fan wiring kit. If you are interested email me

I think its $350 from www.truckperformance.com. I would also go to www.nloc.net and order a fan wiring harness from Ed(screen name Struckby). He does very very good work. Also makes kick a** battery cables.
