As I've said on many ocassions, I refuse to pay the insane money people ask for electric fan's, plus I truly don't like the fact that it can fail and leave you stranded.

So I want to be differant and do a light weight Flex-A-Lite Fan,
What do I have to loose, but a few dollars
AND A LOT OF ROTATIONAL MASS

Anyone know FOR SURE which one would be for me (02 L)
and which spacer (spacer is last Jeg's link)

Thanks in advance

First off the stock fan is VERY efficient, there isn't that much to be gained from and electric. Next....I wouldn't even think of getting rid of the factory clutch cause that is what makes it so efficient.

Last...I would do the Soap fan for 160.00...Hell I have a used JDM fan here I want to dump and I wouldn't take 160.00 for it.

please elaborate

 

The Flexalite fans are direct drive fans meaning they have no thermal clutch that engages of disengages them. The Flexalite direct fans sound like windmills when you rev your engine. The only advantage of them is thier ability to flatten out when they reach a certain rpm. You will be in direct drive until you hit at least 2000 plus rpms. So if your cruising down the highway under 2000 to 2500 rpms you will be in direct drive, thus consuming more gas. Ive had them in the past but switched back to electric ones.

What Promod said.

If you still have the stock fan on your truck, start it up and you will here the loud sound of your fan working hard and then after the truck warms up for a few seconds all of a sudden the loud fan sound goes away......that is the fan clutch disengaging. The fan is then in free wheeling mode. The fan clutch is tempurature controled and only runs the fan when it is needed.

Rob, one thing to remember is that we have HUGE radiators in these Gen 2 Lightnings. Living up here in the north, even during the summer... I'm not concered in the slightest about them not working. Even if they did'nt? As long as your moving 15+ mph they generally are not on. (flex-o-lite 270 on mine)

If you do any extended heavy traffic or sitting still? Then maybe I could understand your concern? But Soaps e-fan setup is a very good *value* that really works.
