Thinking about getting the 183 and rid of the factory clutch fan but wondering how this fan and controller has endured after years of use?
In weighing whether to get a factory Taurus or other unit vs the new 183 my biggest concern is longevity. If the Flex a lite is just as robust and reliable as a factory fan unit I would most likely (for the convenience) just purchase and install it.
On the other hand, if it does not stand the test of time, I would rather spend more time and less $'s modding something that is more reliable.
In all the reviews I've read so far the weak link seems to be the controller and while some say Flex a lite was good in simply shipping them a new one free of charge, others say they weren't interested because it would cost them 130.00 or so?
I'm also interested in hearing from people who tow, and more interestingly, people who tow/ daily drive in hot climates like Texas and further south. Any trouble with the 183 keeping the Hemi cool under extreme hot conditions?
All opinions and info are greatly appreciated!
