I think that is the brand I have in my mustang. Worked great for me in a place that gets 100+ degree weather ... better than the eletric I ended up trashing.

I ran Be Cool and Flex a lite fans on all my K5 4x4's that I have built in the past and they work awsome . I also run a manual switch in conjuction with the thermal switch so when I came across water I could shut it off during water crossings. And I think I'll be running one on my Nissan to free up some lost HP.

Flex a lite thumbs up

I have one and it's great, you can run it constantly or set the temp for it to turn on. I line in Phoenix and keeps my 454 cool in 100 deg weather. Easy to install too. Billyzack

I don't think so. I've mentioned this on a different electric fan post. Each to his or her own but electric fans are great and so is the "clutch" types. Electric can give you a clean look in front of that engine giving you access to a lot of hard to reach areas. The hp you get from swapping a clutch to a electric is overated. Your drivetrain takes away anywhere from 60-80 hp from the engine before reaching the rear wheels.
