Electric fan

[JAMChevy]

Hey guys I need little help here I'm thinking eliminating the factory fan clutch and installing electric one for the cooling. Is anyone have done it and what the benefits are?

 

Thanks John

I woould do it but the kits are to expensive. Maybe withe 05's having them from the factory parts will be more readily available.

The money is not a problem. I wish I knew if it really works and frees the engine a little for some extra HP power

My daugher's 93Z28 has two electric fans. Tho I like them, and have fit some motors in small chassis and needed them, I don't like the poor reliability. When one goes out, you've got some troubleshooting to do, and if in the back country, it's a little more difficult.

I have the flex-a-lite kit on my truck and I love it!! No more noise from that old fashion fan and I do think I am get many more horse's to the rear wheels! I bought the kit for towing and it has kept the engine cool up many grades. I would suggest this kit to everyone!!

Electric fans will definatly free up some HP. There is a tremendous amount of drag on the engine when the traditional fan clutch is engaged.

Will the LS1 fans work for towing???

You know, I never realized until I actually looked at the clutch fan, it's plastic! Pretty cool. My 01 S10 had the metal fan and that thing sucked power down. I bet the plastic fan doesn't take as much power to spin.
