Well what I thought would be a nice trip to NE drag way for the super chevy show which they hold every year turned out to ruin my day. I was cruizing down rt95 with my buddy in his dmax in front of me and I look down and see my temp gauge swinging to the right fast, then the check coolant temp light came on. I was like **** this shutting her down on the side of the road. The fans were not on and that was the first thing I thought of. The control box was getting power but they were not kicking on and i tried ******* with them temp setting and still nothing. We cut the box out and hard wired it and just used the main fuse to shut it off when we stopped. So flex a lite is getting their *** chewed out come monday morning. The moral of this story is always wire in a manual fan switch just incase this happens which I am doing as we speak.

Dude that sux. I wouldnt be very happy either. Maby not true, But hasnt Flexalite had a good many of problems with there fans?

 

I feel you.Running on 1 fan with 100 degree outside temp.No a/c for me.Calling monday for a new motor.

 

Are you using the Flex VSC. If you are, thats the problem.

 

yup that thing is a **** box, so now what the hell do I do?

 

Id look into a Dakota Digital or a Delta Current Control controller.

Dakota controller

DCC controller

 

or get wiring harness from nelson performance or some other supplier and have pcm reburned to control the fans

 

 

I drove for about a week without my fans being hooked up and it only went over 210 once. This is in the houston heat and waiting at stop lights. Needless to say, my heart was pounding at the stoplights but if I was moving I didn't have a problem. On the other hand, Im glad the fans are on and working now.

 

i used the dcc controller before i had my pcm retuned for it. it is a real nice piece and i would use it again.
