NOT INCLUDED WITH THE CONTROL MODULE!

This is just a fan. Don't buy anything superfluous, no control module. The control module itself costs over $80. This is a shitty deal.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

Device works great - spare parts

The part was easy to assemble. It is very important to place the fan sensor (adding tubes tends to change the temperature of the metal). I bought a sensor to match the opening of the thermostat. Both work on 195.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • There are problems

Great The fan works great with the Mishimoto controller.

Fan worked great. I rode nearly 1,000 miles in Texas over Memorial Day weekend and the fan worked fine and kept the temp up. Works better than the factory on my Mercedes ml500 v8. I used a Mishismoto adjustable fan controller which is very easy and convenient to set up. And quieter than factory. Impressed!

Pros
  • Practical item
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Great supporter! No more worrying about the Florida heat

This thing moves the air! I didn't research it enough and during installation I found it too deep to use with a Vortech blower and aftermarket fan setup. No play to crank/compressor pulley. I installed it after removing the A/C condenser and moving the radiator forward. If your car overheats with this fan, then you have other problems.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Appearance

Perfect temperature always!

I installed it on my classic truck with a 350 engine The temperature stays at the set level no matter what. Standstill, full throttle, parade, etc., no matter what it stays at the set temperature. I set this up with a soft start flex-a-lite fan controller to keep the truck at the right temperature when the fan is running at 60%! Amazing products. No more looking at the temperature sensor. FYI, I'm using a Champion Cooling 3-row aluminum heatsink.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Thin

This is an AMAZING fan! It easily beats two lousy fans.

This is an AMAZING fan! It easily beats the two crappy fans I upgraded from. My thermostat is on 180, keeping my operating temperature at 180 in the South Florida heat with the A/C on! There is so much air that I can feel it under the car. You can definitely hear how it works. but it's not too loud. One thing that makes it so good is the large body. and a powerful and efficient fan that covers a large area of the heatsink. Mounting brackets not shown. but they are great too! They can be mounted

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Protection
