I wanted to convert my 2002 Chevy 2500HD over from the factory fan clutch setup to electric. Although a bit pricey, you won't be dissapointed. First, this fan sucks more air than the original GM fan did. Second, it is very easy to install and actually fits perfect where as some aftermarkets are too universal and take a bit of modification. I am a car enthusiast and work on something just about every day as a hobby so I know my way around engines etc. This fan took about 2 1/2 hours to install (Allowing Beverage / Cigar time) and was in my opinion very easy to install. Comes with everything you need to install with plenty of wire length. It is a bolt on unit so it is very sturdy when installed and doesn't rattle or vibrate. The only thing I could complain about is the pictures of the mounting brackets on the instruction sheet could be a little clearer and bigger. Again very small issue but I would not let that be a reason not to buy this fan. It wasn't a problem though as I just set the fan up against the radiator to trial fit how the brackets needed to be installed. Great product and I will no longer buy cheap fans from my local Auto Parts store. These are worth the extra money. Read more

Fans do a great job but have had it for less than 6 months and already had to buy another fan control module... not happy with that. Read more

Well here we are. Installed these fans in june and as of 4pm today both fans let go with a terrible smell, truck started to overheat. I was irate. Everything was properly installed with love and care; they worked amazing but youd think for 500$ they would last me atleast a few years. Return window expired. So thats cool. Lame. Don't know who to contact about a warrenty. Read more

Been using Flex-a-lite since the 80s. This unit came with a defect in the assembly. Someone put the passenger side fan too far on the shaft. It was binding on startup and got worse as it aged, but since it ran, that's not a "defect". FAILED Out of warranty! Unit sits on a custom welded cap aluminum double core radiator, meaning the fan hardly ever needs to run. Barely made it a year and cost $200 for a replacement motor. Installation is even worse. Motor wasn't that tough to install, but the fan setscrew was another story. Set screw was bound and would not move. Broke three hex bits and sockets even after soaking in penetrating oil. Ended up drilling out the shaft to get the fan off the motor. Having to drill, tap, and set a new screw as a result as spending even more to Flex-a-lite to pay for their defect would make it even worse. Only broke one Milwaukee cobalt drill bit. Added costs are nearly $35 in broken tools. Looking for alternative manufacturers based on this experience for future projects. Sadly, had ZERO support from the manufacturer. Read more

Long time coming... Temperature is absolutely cooler. Truck sounds so awesome not hearing the mechanical propeller fan... That stock OEM was so loud, I hated it for the longest. Now truck feels so much MORE... Revs faster, different sound tone, & my performance exhaust just sound all so good... Truck is a lil sleeper now... This is my second Flex A Lite fan used. One on my 98 Chevy for 8 years now. Still kicking & doing a great job cooling just like day one & the second one on my 02 Chevy... I installed both myself... Great product by a good company. Flex A Lite... You've done it to me again... I only hope these new fans last even longer than my first set... My🤞's, My 👀, My toes, & my 🦵 is crossed... 4-27-24 Read more

Initially Five Stars I got this for my 2004 Silverado but I ended up putting it on my 2003 Suburban instead. It was pretty easy to install and fits well. I was able to get it installed in about an hour and a half and most of that was prepping the wiring. I loosely installed the brackets first as it was hard to get to the bolts to start them and hold the fan at the same time. So far no complaints I haven't run enough gas through it to know what it will do to the mileage but it feels improved power wise according to my butt dyno. One quick tip though... for pulling off the fan clutch you can get an adjustable pin wrench meant for use with grinders and get it to go into 2 of the holes on the pulley so you can get it off. I got one from Harbor Freight for 3.99 and worked great after loosening the adjustment bolt and then re-tightening it after I got the pins lined up. Much cheaper than the purpose built tools and I can always use it on a grinder later! -- Update 9/25/2015 -- Lowered to 4 stars, although if it wasn't for my initial satisfaction I might have gone to 3 stars. It lasted about 2 1/2 years before one of the fans seized causing the fuse to blow out. As a temporary fix I cut the wires to damaged fan and replaced the fuse so I would have at least one fan. The the thermocouple probe for temperature sensing failed after a year or so and wasn't very consistent so I switched to a threaded model (Flex-a-lite 32050 Temperature Sensor http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003EP136I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00) that I inserted into the upper radiator hose in an adapter (Auto Meter 2283 Radiator Hose Adapter http://www.amazon.com/Auto-Meter-2283-Radiator-Adapter/dp/B0012NYGKY/ref=pd_sbs_263_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=199HAVV1MTSNA6YGW42J&dpID=51lJRDvDyCL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_) which was much more consistent. I have since switched to a factory style fan with an adapter harness (Depo 335-55042-000 Dual Fan Assembly http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004J0R9Z6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00) and a Nelson Performance fan harness that connects to unused pins in the factory ECU. It requires a custom tune in order to enable the function that is already built into the computer. If I had it to do over again I would have gone this route first since it is nearly the same cost and leaves you with a factory fit which is much easier when it fails since you can find a factory replacement at any parts store or dealer rather than having to source a replacement motor since mine failed 150 miles from home while I was towing that made a big difference limping home on one fan. It also allowed me to make some adjustments to the factory tune to correct the speedometer and make some other adjustments improving power, mileage and drivability. Since I have this fan and still have the Silverado I could swap it into its a tough choice when I pull it back apart to do the water pump seals again of if I want to spend the hundred bucks or so to replace the fan and install this or pop for ~270 and swap in another factory replacment.
