E-Fan install on my 2003 Ram 1500
#22
Super clean install. Really like that the stock shroud stays in place. I installed the flex a lite 183. Your making me want to do a pictorial on the 183 install. I had to wing it with youtube videos on flexalite installs on fords and other trucks and meld it all together to make something work for the ram.

Good job on the install!!
I run $15 ebay fans too.. 16" rated at 2750cfm.. one pushes, one pulls.. I have maybe $150 total in it, and I didn't skimp on anything but the fans themselves, because I wanted to test the theory before going all in... Turns out, the theory is solid as a rock, and the fans are too.. I ran one fan for two years before it failed, and replaced it with a like fan.. the other one is still pulling fine..
It was good for 1~1.5 mpg, and likely 20~30# of torque right off idle.. that's right exactly where you need the torque, and where most Dyno's won't register it (they usually graph above 2krpm as a starting point)..
I rate efans right behind gears, and ahead of tuner on my list of mods... I really dig them!!
