You will have to buy a controller. I got mine for $35 at autozone. Pretty straightforward install.

Flex-a-Lite fan will come with a controller. They have one now that make the fan a two-speed. Very nice addition to your truck. I put one on almost three years ago.

Don't skimp or take short-cuts. Wire it by the "book".

I just cannot justify the cost of those fans versus the Taurus fans. Thats just a lot of coin. A single speed fan controller isnt that bad cost wise but those dual speed fan controller goes for 75+

I went to that website and they only list them for the 5.7L Hemis.

Do you guys mean the Ford "Taurus" If so, what year? Or does anyone have a model number for the Flexlite?

Seems funny we'll spend 20K or more on a truck add all kinds of goodies. Wonder what's the best spark plug or oil to get the best performance and mileage out of our babies. But something as important as the main powerplant keeping it cool and a fan that hopefully should be in the truck awhile. Well we'll quibble over a couple of hundred dollars and consider a junk yard addition with a warranty to keep us on the road. Don't get me wrong everyone has their own reasons and budget just seems like a no brainer to me but what do I know LOL... Just sayin

Oh boy.......Look out! I tried saying this same thing about a month ago and got flamed heavily by the do-it-yourselvers. Just doesn't make sense to me all these guys on here that are buying resistors and parts from radio shack to experiment, when it's all out there on the market for cheap. Don't get me wrong, I do as much sh*t as the next guy, but some things are better off bought to know it's right and won't fu*k your transmission up or something. Flame on.................................

Haha its all good I just like to promote healthy discussion is all LOL!!! I can see adding new parts to my toy but the junkyard is the last resort only if I can't find it else where, well for me anyway. Especially for something that is supposed to be a performance gain and is hopefully going to be in my truck for awhile LOL... Everyone has their own ideas

Here is the website where you can get the e-fan setup I got. Really high quality made fans, not cheap chinese junk. Comes with everything you need in the box the install including the adjustable fan controller (to set at any temp from 150-220 degrees)

I paid $295 for my kit plus shipping through their ebay store...but you can save $20 by purchasing directly from their website listed below...
