Flex Fan w/ Billet Spacer Kit
Flex-a-lite high performance flex fans are designed to give you maximum airflow at low RPM, and the least amount of engine loading at high RPM. Less resistance at highway speeds equals more horsepower and better gas mileage. Flex fans pull additional air through the radiator at low RPM when the speed of the vehicle isn't enough to cool the engine's coolant system. At higher RPM, when the vehicle's speed forces ample air through the radiator, the fan blades flatten out, resulting in less power being used to spin the fan. Includes additional spacer kit for complete installation.
NOTE: By design, Flex Fans are noisier compared to a stock fan. Noise will not be a valid reason for the return of this item.

Keeps it cool!
I ordered this fan kit because I have been encountering slight overheating issues during low speed trail riding. The South Carolina summer heat does not help either. Install was straight forward and the instructions were clear. The fan is noisy as stated but keeps the engine cool. Went out on some trails and after a few hours the temp never even though about moving. It even helps keep the auto trans fluid temp down since i also have the B&M trans cooler mounted center. Great product! Would buy again in a heartbeat. The cost of the fan has already paid itself off. Replacing headgaskets on a overheated engine is much more expensive. Great product!
