j4nash Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 i have the 05 fans they are real nice but they really will not help out that much power wise the only reason i got them was to make room for my inrercooler pipe on my s/c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTex Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I've got flex 282s and really like them too. I don't care for the VSC controller that ships with the kit, but the physical fans themselves are great. I don't know for a fact, but I'm sure they move more air than the 05 GM fans. On the other hand, getting OEM quality and fir with the GM fans would be a benefit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSoCal Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 yeah ive heard good things about the FALs but got a little gun shy about buying them when i heard parts were exploding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbpsychoSS Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 How about adding to 03 ss how hard to wire to pcm for control of fans do we need to reprogram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4nash Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 I already had my custom tune from Allen so I did not have to re tune. I bought my wiring harness from Allen also. The whole install took me about an hour and a half. That includes changing my thermostat. I took my time through the whole install and had no problems at all. The harness that Allen sales makes to install go real smooth. But I am sure that the harness that Bryan sells is fine and would work just as well.

j4nash Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 My fans are working out great, thanks for the hook up on the E-fans zippy Between them and the 160 stat I put in the temp never goes over the 180 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

56chevywagon Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 I'm using the FAL's and I love them. I've had no real problems with them except for thr fuse block melting which FAL has alreay taken care of. I did notice a little improvment at the track by gaining .2-.4 of a second after installin the fans and vette servo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSoCal Posted April 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 maybe youre one of the people i remembered hearing about. did fal say what caused it or that they fixed the problem? also is everything included in the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 The problem was a faulty fuse holder they did a recall and fixed the problem. Between my FAL 282's and 160 thermo my truck never gets above 180 except when I'm towing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PewterC3 Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I have my fans but no harness. Who is selling the best harness? Is there one with relays/breakers so it can reset instead of fuses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
