Default E-fans???

I want to put some e-fans on my 04 Silverado. Are there direct bolt ons and what ones are the best to run??? I dont need anything super fancy. I just want something to bolt on and wire up and have them work well. Thank you in advance guys!!

Your best bet are ls1 fans if you are not too concerned about looks.

do the LS1 fans bolt right on or do you have to modify them to fit??? I kinda just wanted a kit that would work very well that just bolted up.

They don't exaclty bolt right into our trucks but they are easy to mount and look pretty decent. I will post some pics of mine after I get home from work.

You just need to flat pieces of steel and 4 bolts to make them fit. I will try to get some good pics of my LT1 fans. They look pretty good, but I took my time with the wiring also.

Flex-a-lite fans are bolt in and go... At least my 282's were. The bolt-in part was by far the easiest. I'm a real perfectionist with wiring, and that took 3/4 of the 3 or so hours I spent installing them.

I think you'd be looking for a set of 292's.

These are the fans that I have and I love them. ( I am VERY ****!) Cost in the $300 range but with these 295 flex-a-lite fans (by the way is 27" for the most air you can move) and our mounting brackets for our trucks, you slide the bottom legs in the hooks built in on our radiator, and tighten two bolts on top fan bracket. Fits perfect. Only had to trim bottom legs to sit low enough for top bracket to line up with bolt holes, but I bought mine more than a year ago so I am sure they fixed that problem. Even holds the radiator hose just as before with two brackets. This is the site.

have to copy and paste. Don't know how else to do it.
