Great unit best of fans and parts

This is a definite improvement over the capillary tube relay and sensor that came with my Jegs fan kit. But 4 starts because the differential temperature to start the second fan is too high (10 degrees) and not adjustable. I ended up using a relay to connect both fans to the first fan circuit. It is also necessary to fit a metal bracket to the dipstick to allow access to either side of the radiator.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Hide

Doesn't work as all the reviews say

Defective out of the box. The thermostat didn't turn on the fans. Turn on the green wire, there are still no fans. Switch 12V directly to run fan.fans. The product fit and installed well until I had to take it off and replace it with another brand. In addition, the temperature adjustment screw is so small that you cannot adjust it when installed vertically. Very disappointed, the derale fans work so well but the controller sucks. Derale customer service told me they had all gone out for lunch 2

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Moderately easy installation, EXCELLENT product

Excellent fan control, relatively easy installation. Everything you need to complete your belt to electric fan conversion is included when you buy Procomp Electronics Cooling Fan (PROCOMP DUAL 16" INCH ELECTRIC COOLING RADIATOR FAN KIT) from Revain. Fast shipping, great products and easy installation it's absolutely amazing it was released in 2001 2500 HD 6.0 Vortec I soldered and heat shrunk the connections instead of using the barrel connectors that came with it but they are supplied and will

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Wrinkled

4 Wheelonline is a joke

I called tech support 5 times to say I need to cut the cable and see if it works properly. I installed everything correctly and followed all the instructions. The probe that goes into the radiator doesn't heat up enough because I have efficiency aluminum. 4wheel online does nothing to return the product. I spoke to the technicians in Derala and it was great working with them. Thomas on extension 114 knows his way around. He even said he would give permission to send the product back but…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Problematic - Performance Parts and Accessories

I'm clearly not the only one complaining about this. I bought mine a few years ago and had problems with it from the start. Well, it ended up failing completely. I bought this to use with Derale 16825 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XONXRQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1#customerReviews) which I rated 5 stars a few months ago . , also mentioning problems with the relay/controller. It was unreliable from the start, intermittent operation over the years caused the engine to

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
