To start what is your problem that you want to change the fan? Overheating? If so the fan is probably the last thing you should change. Find out why it is overheating first.

A few people had good experiences with them. My friend bought a Flex A Fan and it made it worse.

Well are you towing a lot or anything where you need extra cooling?

I've wondered if those Flex fans help in the noise department with the roar of the fan when it engages. I wouldn't mind that being quieter, and a bit less stress on the motor when it engages.

iused to think it was cool. to hear the fan roaring when a truck was pulling out. now i have one. it's not so cool anymore. would be nice to get it gone for noise purposes but then id spend money. it's kinda of like straight pipes. it's cool on your buddies truck. but you hate yours.
