Read a couple of reviews on them a while back, supposed to move more air than stock fan and free up a couple HP due to lighter weight. I'd give it a try...

 

bump...

 

hmmmm....for 25 bucks its worth it....and since one of my fins on my fan is bent, its probably harder for it to spin right?

 

Not 100% sure it really matters. The stock fan is not evenly spaced blades. If you look closely, you'll see it's divided into a group of 3 and group of 2. Mopar calls this a vicious fan setup, and it supposedly moves more air with less drag on the engine.

I would think that any reduction in weight/rotating mass would be a good thing, but you won't actually gain much. Even deleting the entire fan and going electric fans only nets about 10 ponies.

It's probably a great stock replacement alternative that doesn't net much if any gains, only drawback would be mudding. It simply won't last.

 

Doesn't the flex fan also eliminate the fan clutch? If so.... not really a good plan.

 

is your truck runing hot?,,,, if not i wouldnt change it

 

I think he'd need the fan clutch to mount it. Unfortunately I don't have a 'puter right now to look at the flex fan pics in any detail.

"Most late 1960s and early 1970s factory-built musclecars were equipped with viscous fans for cooling purposes. Engineers determined through dyno testing that you could gain up to 15 extra horsepower with typical high-performance V8s. These viscous fan packages from Mopar provide thermostatically controlled cooling. They feature a lightweight, balanced fan that uses the least amount of horsepower necessary to turn."

 

if even 10hp.
