BigTex Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 By far the best is the Flex a lite 282 kit. Comes with everything you need and the brackets were designed for our radiators. Looks like a factory install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haynss Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Big Tex, Are they pretty easy to install? thanks, makani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTex Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Yes. The brackets make it a snap to physically install the fans. Its great how they just slip into the same spot where the old shroud used to fit and tbolt up to the same bolt holes where the shroud bolted. The kit comes with plenty of wire and connectors to do the install. The directions are a little confusing, but nothg to really worry about.

MustBBrent Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Flex lite 282 is the shiznit! You can tune the temp they come on and they stay on after the motor is shut off to keep heat build up from occuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haynss Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 hey tim could you take some pics for me to check it out? So just to let you know im kinda retarded when it comes to this kinda thing, i can play with electrical but engine mods, not the strong part. Id like to see what your install or anyone else who has done it looks like. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haynss Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 yup a little, did you have to yank the radiator out for the install? or just slide the fans in place of the stock one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR8NSS Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Take the stock clutch fan off, slide the 282's in place and wire up the controller. THAT'S IT!! Very easy install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
