Re: To anybody that adapted and mounted an OEM fan. LS x, et

Thought I'd let you know about my fan changeover last week from a Flex-a-lite 210, to an Intrepid fan. After I removed the 210's, I could see the 2 fans side by side and compare. The Intrepid fan was about 3-5 lbs.heavier because the shrowed is thicker and more ridged and the motors are larger and "...

My bottom mount is much like yours, using the tabs, etc. and the top mount is the same. But I'm wondering about where the plastic shrowed will contact the edges of the core?

To anybody that adapted and mounted an OEM fan. LS x, etc.

I'm about to change my Flex. 210 to a set of Intrepid fans, not because the Flex fans didn't work, they did good for the past 3 1/2 years. But because the intrepid fans are supposed to move more air, be quieter, and be smoother (balanced better) and to be honest, I like to mess with my truck. My que...
