Don't waste your money with "cheaper" fans. September 21, 2008

I originally had a Volvo fan which I got for free. It didn't have a speed regulator so it ran at full speed, and I found out that it consumes far too many amps and was killing my battery and alternator. I then bought the Proform 67015 electric fan for 5.0L Mustangs... DO NOT PURCHASE THIS FAN! Within a month of me having this fan installed, the blades shredded while it was running one day. I guess they weren't balanced correctly. I noticed a lot of vibration whenever the fan came on, I should have seen the warning sign, but I can't see anything wrong visually and I installed it correctly so I assumed it was normal. When the blades shredded, it actually blew a hole in my radiator. Some of the radiator fluid squirted into my alternator. So no, I had to replace my electric fan, radiator, and alternator... I contacted Proform, and they ignored my emails. So I contacted Better Business, then all of a sudden Proform was very friendly and offered to refund the cost of the fan and pay for a new radiator. Long story short, I got a new radiator, got my money back for the fan, but did NOT purchase the same fan or any other form Proform.
Instead, I went with this, the Black Magic fan by Flex-a-lite. One main feature I made sure it had was that the tips of the blades are shielded. This decreases noise and increases strength in the blades. It's a VERY good feature. This kit includes everything you need to install the fan and the adjustable thermostat. Even all of the necessary wires and wire crimps and connectors.
I've had this fan in my vehicle for quite some time now, and it works like a charm. Keeps my Mustang running cool and hasn't had a hiccup yet. The adjustable thermostat is very easy to use, and installation was very straight forward as long as you follow the instructions carefully. I am very pleased with this fan. If only I had purchased this from the beginning I would not have gone through so much headaches with these other ones. You might save a hundred dollars with other fans like the Proform, but if it fails and you vehicle overheats, or it does damage to other components, you'll end up paying 3 times as much as if you simply shelled out the extra $100 for a much better fan such as the Flex-a-lite 185 Black Magic Xtreme 15" fan.
