Default LT1 fans???

I have flex a lite right now and im about to band them completly.It just broke on me on one of the hottest days theres been here and if freakin broke its only been three months total!!!!!!!! I need to know how well the LT1 fans work with a 5.3 ECSB truck with 28inch radaitor??? And i wanted to make sure that the LT1's are electric fans and also to make sure that there isn't a much better company out there that can make an efficient E fan that won't break down when i need it the most!!! Good thing i wasnt at the track when this happend!!!! Any input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Yes they will. Eather lt1 or ls1 will work fine and if any of the 2 motors in them go down, you can easily replace them very cheap.

Did the flex-a-lite motors go out or did the VSC fail? I don't think I've ever heard of the Flex-a-lite motors going out, especially after 3 months.

Had LT1 fans on my truck for over 2 years now. No problems even when I towed.

first post here, but couldnt you get rid of the vsc, and run the flex a lite through the electric fan terminal?? i know you would need edit or similar to activate it, but it would save him some money.
