Amazing kit for OBS, BUY IT!
This kit is amazing for OBS enthusiasts! The kit instructions were minimal but easy. It came with everything needed. I was even able to use extra brackets to help keep radiator hoses from falling into fans.Installation guide:- You will NEED the big block radiator for this kit. The smaller single core radiator will be too small for the fans to seal correctly. Upgrade!! Also you will need a 454SS BB radiator hose and flex hose for lower radiator.- Any of the OEM hoses will run right into your fans and you don’t want to put a kink trying to zip tie them away. Flex hose worked perfectly.- Make sure to get some heat shrink or better heat shrink butt connectors. This will help the install go smoother and look cleaner. Also recommend looking for wire anchors and wire shields or tape for cleaner install and to hold wires away.- I would also look at the gauge of wire provided for the accessory and AC cable and buy a roll because you’ll need it for cleaner install.Cooling-wise, this fan works 10x better than the stock cooling fan and clutch. AC blows ice cold at stop lights and gained an mpg or two drag reduction.

Quality and Beautiful!
EASY to install and works like a charm! This is the second vehicle I've bought a Flex-A-Lite unit for and I'm just as happy with this one as I was my '68 Camaro unit.

Take your time. The hardest thing is mounting the fans. Wiring is pretty easy.
Works really well once you get the temp set right on the control module.

Description needs to be updated.
Fans look great. But could not install on my truck. If you don't have a 34" wide radiator core these fans are not for you. Amazon website does not have a proper description. If you have a 27.5" rad core the flexalite 295 fans are the proper kit.

Best fans out there
Fit perfect with the included bracketsEasy wiring setup and temp adjustmentWith perfect electrical system i barely drop from 14.8v to around 14.7 when they do turn on and they only stay on for about 2-4 seconds since they pull so much air at 60% no issues real quiet and sound nice when they kick onBeen using it for a real long time never had a single issue and it has some weight to it and is durable

Check for vibrations.
they look good, and they work amazing. I have had a set before and had no issues until now. The replacement motor and fan cost me 200$. we found one of the blades with a dirt dobber nest on the back of it, we think caused the failure. Are theory is that the nest had the fan out of balance which caused the frame to break, and had a domino effect with the blades. If the parts where not over priced i still would have gave it 5 stars.
