Looking for After Market Electric Fan Kit Assembly

pocket.change · 10-09-2008, 10:49 AM

After 2 bad fan clutch experiences I'm ready to try something different.
Anyone know of a vendor that has a shroud mounted elecrtic fan kit to replace the $300 OEM Fan/Clutch?
p.c

Flex-A-Lite just came out with a kit. It's a bit pricey in my opinion. I think Summit and Jegs offer them on their web sites.

Gentleman,
Thank you for your comments on the Flex-A-Lite fans. We are very proud of the Cummins model 262 and 264 kits.

What is the difference between the two models? Year of truck?

The kit number 262 is for the 1994-2002 Cummins and the 264 is for the 2003-2008 model years.

i just installed the 264 on my 06 2500, for the most part was pretty easy, except remember to find a 36mm wrench before hand!!, i literaly had to RUN up town and buy a 1" 3/8 wrench which i had to grind out some to make it work. i wasnt to impressed with the wiring, i was kinda hoping for plug and play, i mean other than 12v power for the fans all the control could have been gotten from the factory clutch plug, am i wrong?

Sounds like a good question...

hmm since i installed the fan i have lost around 3 mpg. all i can think of is maybe the fans thermostat is set to low and running all the time.
