Great fan for performance applications
Not to difficult to install. I have bought the no name brand fans before. I should have bought a flex a lite fan from the start. Fan works great. If you are using a togel switch like me make shure its at leats 20amps or higher. Very pleased with my fan plenty of air flow for my 3 core radiator on my 1971 f250. 👍👍 . note a 20amp togel switch is not enough current rating. I installed a 30amp togel switch works much better. Switch dose not over heat like a 20amp swith dose. Update on the fan performance. Works good in 100 plus degree weather. I am using a 160 deg t stat.

Great value for the money.
I installed this fan in my 1998 Ford Ranger pickup. Living and driving in Albuquerque, NM traffic, especially during the summer months can be demanding. The nice thing about this fan is that it keeps the air flow constant across the radiator and air conditioning cooler. No problem with over heating during those 100 plus degree days.This fan replaced the stock clutch driven fan. For the first time I can hear the engine while driving. Something not possible with the old noisy fan.Bottom line, this fan works great and is a good replacement for the factory stock cooling fan.

It works exactly as advertised
Vehicle that this was psrt of a coolant system overhaul2002 trans am first upgrade was the radiator to a all aluminum 3 row,Next was the mechanical coolant pump to a mezerie WP319R electric water pump 55 honThen all the belts, 3 idlers and all coolant hoses radiator and. Heater core, and finally the fan to a sixteen inch single unitFlex-a-lite 118 Black 16" LoBoy Electric FanThis fan is the best it pulls and pulls it’s the heart to the system it does exactly as advertised my buddy came over with a fan pressure gauge after the install and checked the fan out put and it’s 2487 CFM SO THEY DID NOT LIE ABOUT THE FANS OUTPUT AND ITS SLIM FIT… INTO a very tight SPACF WITH NO ISSUES . If you’re looking for a slim high power fan at a great price, go no further this Flex-a-lite 118 Black 16" LoBoy Electric FanIs your only choice

Moves a lot of air.
Awesome!! Moves a lot of air on a aluminum 3 core radiator in my blown ‘71 Chevelle sbc 350 with A/C. A bit noisy as expected and costs more then the off brand fans but well worth the money. Engine runs cool and A/C stays cold in Hawaii’s heavy traffic with an average outside temp of high 80’s to mid 90’s.

Excellent
I used this fan to replace the belt driven fan on my 65 Thunderbird. It is very tight between the radiator and water pump pulley so I needed a thin profile unit. This fit the bill and moves air like crazy. It was easy enough to install with the radiator removed. There are alot of good instructional video clips on youtube. I can't speak to the long term durability of this fan yet but flex a lite has an excellent reputation for quality.

Two of these fans only lasted 3.5 years (~40,000miles).
For the price and brand name of these fans, I expected more. Both of them failed nearly simultaneously in my pickup. They are both getting power to the motor via the Flex-A-Lite fan controller they're hooked up to, but they don't spin. Verified with a circuit tester that the wire is hot right into the motor case and that the ground is good, and yet they don't budge.If the brand name is three times the price of the "knock-off" and is just as reliable, why spend the extra money?Two knock-off fans have been ordered to replace these.

it works great
this fan keeps my truck running cool, i did however opt to build an aluminum fan shroud rather than the pull ties through the radiator. a good fan controller is also important
