ELectric Fans on a Cummins ?
For $600 or so FLex a lite makes a fan kit for the CUmmins 5.9 Anybody using it? is there a noticable MPG gain running empty? Does it work well enough to cool the truck when loaded?
Forum Discussion
OP here, I've been on this forum for a decade so please call me Dave.
I don't think you're all wet, you are a tad condescending but I have very thick skin.
First, I do not presume to know anything. I work for Phd engineers and the one thing I have learned from them is just how little I can know with certainty.
I have not presented any facts or data that I did not get from some other attributed source. You make a pretty good point- if Flexalite says it draws 60 amps and we know that's 1 hp then why don't the fans have .5 hp motors on them.
So I'll go back to a forum that is more electric fan friendly and ask that question.
I've been following the electric fan debate for a long time. In that time the manufacturers have been putting them on larger and larger vehicles.
Your arguments seem compelling but it's not like FLexalite does not employ any engineers. I'm thinking they gave some thought to the plenum and shrouding issues you mentioned.
Peace
