I tow a 16' trailer at 7500 lbs and the temp. is at 190* all the time, this is the same as stock.

"One of the improvements of the Variable Speed Control is its soft-start feature that prevents the fans from drawing a large surge when they spin up. It's much less stress on the electrical system, especially with trucks using two large fans with a combined total of 4600 cubic feet per minute of flow!

- Also reducing stress on the electrical system, the VSC will not power up the fans for a 5 second delay after ignition.

- When the VSC starts the fans it powers them at 60% speed reducing noise and power draw. If the coolant temperature continues to rise, the VSC will increase fan speed gradually to 100% over the next 10 degrees beyond your calibration point.

- The air conditioner clutch will also activate the fans at 60% power unless coolant temperature is higher than the calibration point and the fans are already running at a higher speed.

- The VSC will continue to run the fans for up to 30 seconds after shutdown if the coolant temperature in the core is sufficient. (This feature will prevent post-shutdown boil-over in high-temperature applications.)

- The manual override ON input allows the fans to be turned on at 100% speed at any time, regardless of temperature or AC status, as long as the ignition is on. The engine does not have to be running. (This will be especially handy at the drag strip!)

- The manual override OFF input will prevent all other inputs from starting the fans. (The ability to disable the fans is a nice safety consideration if work must be done in the engine compartment while the engine is running. Electric fans can surprise you coming on without warning."

So after you install these you no longer have a fan shroud? I didn't see much of a shroud on the new unit.

[Toomnymods]

so which has better performance the flex-a-lite or the perma cool?

[pi3yeargrad]

So is this like a complete replacement? How much do u think the price will be about? 3 - 400?

Complete replacement for $369.88 at www.jegs.com part #400-295 the fan shroud is Size: 17-1/2'' x 27-1/2'' x 4''

I like the Variable Speed Controller of the Flex-a-lite

I'm looking into removing the fan bracket and bypass the idler pulley when the Underdrive Pulley comes out.

It probably fits/looks better.

I'm about to take my two fans and the variable voltage controller for it all apart and ditching the framework/shroud I built and sell it all off piece by piece. Apparently $225 is too much for it so I'll be somewhat shocked if anyone spends the $370 plus shipping for the other one, but I guess it needs to be from a major company with a big markup before anyone wants anything.
