tawss04 Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 I was servicing my truck today, oil change and tire rotation at my shop found a flex fan that i took off a truck I built ( 98 Z71- 383 S/C and more). The fan weighs next to nothing compared to the heavy rock on it now. Well I figured it could not hurt to try it, so I swapped it (10 min job). The engine definitly revs quicker and it pulls just as much air as the stock one. I do have a set of flex-a-lite electric fans that are still on my 97 Z71 that work great (truck was totaled) but have not pulled the out yet, plus i will have to make the mounting brackets. Going to take it out this weekend and see how it does, Opinions. Did I mention it was a free mod . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGMTech Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Cool. I was wondering if a flex fan would bolt on there, but never looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tawss04 Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Truck seems to run better and i checked the fuel mileage while cruising down the highway and looks like I'm getting about 2mpg more . When you step on it, it sounds alomst like a S/C whining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaotik1 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Gotta love free mods, come to think about this I have a flex fan sitting around as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawss04 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hey it works great no temp problems and does seem to pickup a little better not to mention 2 more mpg, every little bit helps . The adapter is from Summit and was for a 96-99 truck. Would post pics but I'm still working on how to do that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
