Electric fan set up?

[CrustyJunker]

Ditto. Also running the Flex-A-Lite 280 fan kit. The included VSC controller is nice, too. I'm actually thinking of converting my other e-fan equipped muscle machines to the same controller.

I recommend the kit. It's expensive, but it fits properly, has all the parts and pieces, and works well even with mods.

I have a TBI truck, so I had a CS130 alternator (not CS130D like the Vortec trucks) to begin with. It worked, but the headlights were mighty dim at stoplights and the voltage barely kept up. Didn't hurt the running at all, but I did upgrade alternator later since I had plans for more high-current accessories. Just something to keep in mind.

I like them.

That looks sooooooooo nice *drool* That's exactly what I've been looking for. Is the aluminum top plate across the core support custom?

Nope, those plates are supplied in the kit, too. Comes with several top plates depending on your truck setup.

I did some research on the Flex A Lives, so came up with part number 35024. I'm assuming that is just the fans, Amazon has them for around $340, everywhere else they're more than $600 I'm wondering if that part number included the bracket and wiring harness etc. The Flex A Lite site gave me that number to fit my application. If so can get the whole kit for the Amazon price I'm jumping on it.

35024 appears to be a 24 volt version.

280 is probably the kit you want ? listed for 473.00 on Amazon.

285 might be just the fan 12 volt

290 maybe fan and controller 12 volt

Just breezing through the catalog.

FWIW mine may have cost around 350.00 or so, bought em off ebay years ago from cascade plastics, think they had been a sister company of flex lite, selling returned/opened items.

Don't see them around anymore on ebay.

Maybe a call to flex lite could answer whether someone still sells their returned/open items for a discount.

 

[CrustyJunker]

He's right. 35024 is listed as a universal 24V fan assembly. The 280 is the direct fit for our trucks that comes with all the bracketry, top plates, and a controller.

Ah okay thanks for clearing all that up guys, appreciate it!

I have been thinking about do this on mine. What are you guys using to support the upper radiator hose after you remove the factory shroud.

It should support itself, and with no fan blade in there to chop it up there's not much to worry about.

I modified my shroud and kept the upper portion. I can grab a pic later this afternoon if you want ...
