I used this for about a year and a half. My main use for it was to improve my AC efficiency when in stop and go traffic during the summer(and it worked). I finally grafted a 4runner electric fan onto the front of my AC condenser leaving me free to go back to a clutch fan for engine cooling. This one has an adjustable thermostat and connections for AC-ON and Manual-OFF (for water crossings).


$125

 

why did you go back to clutch fan, and did the elec do better on gas milage?

 

Yeaaaa...why go back? Good Price though.

 

I had installed the elect fan primarily to keep my AC working good in stop and go traffic during the summer. It did a fine job but on the trails I got tired of the thing turning on and off when trying to hear my spotter. The fan also operates at the perfect frequency to piss off drive-thru employees as they cannot hear my order when the fan is on. My neighbor had a 4runner (93 I think) and I was looking at the pusher fan mounted in front of the ac condenser and decided I was going to find a way to make one fit so I could go back to the quieter clutch fan. A little cutting and welding of some custom fan brackets and the little 4runner pusher fan was on. Now I get my good hot weather electric fan AC performance and my quiet non electric fan on the trails. There you have the story behind removal of the Flex-a-lite fan.


edit.... on the gas mileage I have no idea as I only drive about 2 miles to work. I did notice a bit more response right off idle with the elect fan. It was a little easier to get the ol horse moving.

 

I'm interested in the fan.....I just have some questions. If it's still for sale I'll type them up and send them to you if you don't mind. I'm in no rush (actualy stalling for the tax-man ) Thanks

Sure fire away.

 

did you get PM?

 

I think I answered most of my own questions however could you clarify for me the "AC-ON" connector? I mean that my truck never has the AC on. What would I need to modify to connect this up to have a power on with manual over-ride to turn it off for instances such as a water crossing?

Then considering I just got a raise today I think I would like to take this off your hands. Of course that is if it's still available. Thanks!
