Troyer E-Fan
I'm undecided too now.
I was wanting E-Fans to take advantage of power gained by not spinning the factory fan when it's not needed, but all the stories of troubles with the controllers makes me reconsider.
I can't afford to have the truck overheating because the controllers have failed.
I like the mounting setup of the Troyer kit, and that it comes with wiring and the little bits & pieces.
The fans themselves seem to be reliable, but based on all the posts I have read on this and other forums, the controllers are an issue.
In my opinion, the cooling system is "mission critical" and MUST be dependable and fail safe.
No matter what the deal price ends up being, $400-500 is a lot of money if the controllers can't be trusted.

All I can say is that I purchased my Troyer E fan kit last year and have been running it fine with no problems at all. I even had a over ride switch installed in case my controllers ever fail. It is a nice kit indeed and if I had to do it all over again, I would!
