great replacement (for a mechanical fan) on my X5
I bought this fan (# 238) to replace the mechanical fan (w/viscous clutch) on my '01 BMW X5. The fan blades were coming apart, and the clutch was howling, so I determined to replace it with what I trusted from prior experience: a Flex-a-Lite electric fan. The Flex-a-lite Flex-Wave LoBoy Electric Fan (Puller), 16" (238), looked like the highest CFM rating that I could fit in, and still use the original fan shroud, despite Amazon's warning that it would not fit. Though I tried using a mounting kit, the Nissens radiator had fins too tight to use the push-thru ties, so I quickly made a mounting frame (with zip-ties & thin aluminum flat bars), and the fan went in just fine. I used an aftermarket thermostatic switch, relay, and wiring kit (not tied into the factory PWM fan circuit that powers the factory auxiliary fan), and the Flex-a-Lite keeps my X5 cool just where I want it, for 2 years now. Great fan!

Great low profile fan
Great low profile fan. Retrofit it into a C4 corvette to improve airflow and it made an instant difference.

Worked great on my lq9 swapped jeep
Fan pulls alot of air and works very well. Used it in my lq9 swapped jeep with a 160* thermostat, set My terminator x setting to kick fan on at 185 and off at 180.

Pay for new and get used product
Ordered this fan for my hot rod the fan did work but it was a return, it appears that the water pump pulley was a little close for the first person that purchased it and rubbed on motor housing paid full price for a used product. I would have sent it back but have to go to a show this weekend, now I hope that it doesn’t fail while at show, there is an option to purchase used but I don’t expect to get used when I pay full price for new for new

Wow, this moves some air! Made up for the Warn winch mounted in front of the grill.

The fan, along with a homemade fan shroud, has resolved the over heating issues with my Pontiac 389.

Muy bien, solo que si hace un poco de ruido, pero imagino es normal por el viento que jala.
