Electric fan flex a lite 183 vs 88-95 Taurus fan

[RamRod37]

Ok I'm wanting to do a electric fan on my truck and I'm finding post about the ford Taurus Electric fan from 88 to 95 has more CFM's some have used this fan on their ram and seems to be big with hot rodders between the Flex-a-lite Black Magic Xtreme Series Electric Fans 183 & The Ford Taurus fan is a two speed fan 4000/4500CFM the Taurus fan has 700/1200 CFM on the Flex a Lite at 3300CFM

Ok now here's the kicker I can get The Taurus fan Brand new with a Derale 180 degree single stage fan controller For less Than 100 Bucks the flex a Lite is 350+ I'm Leaning hard towards the Taurus fan big time for that price unless someone knows something I Don't I'm Up For You Guys Opinion On This

at 4000CFM On low speed I should not need a dual stage controller

Either one is ok but the price of the Taurus can't be beat.

Been running the Mark VIII on low w/ 180 tstat for 4 years and love it.

I'm 100% not impressed with the 183 in design / appearance.
It's just a "This'll work' setup. I could do that with a $150 Non vehicle specific fan super easy.

I'd go with the Taurus fan (also look at the Grand cherokee fan?)

If I didn't get my flex a lite for such a good price id do the Taurus route. Nothing special with the 183 just the simplicity.

I like the idea of being able to buy replacement fan at the local parts store with a life time warranty.

On old Red I'm now using this one which works flawlessly. Turns on at 200 and off at 190 every time.

80 amp relay but not sure on the brand.

80 amp relay but not sure on the brand.

I have a 40a relay on mine and would be happier with a 80a. But so far it's been good with a single fan setup.

It came with the kit which i think was owned by RubberFrog at some point.
