This Flex-a-lite #282 Chevy Truck fan is built for the demands of a truck. As a direct bolt-on electric fan kit for many of the 2000-2004 Chevy and GMC trucks with 34” radiator cores, this fan is the answer to the overheating problems caused by slow, inner city driving, and can solve the cooling problems that occur with body lifts. Up to 17 additional horsepower is transferred to the wheels by removing the mechanical fan, resulting in a gain of as much as 3 mpg in fuel economy.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Well worth the Price
I wanted to convert my 2002 Chevy 2500HD over from the factory fan clutch setup to electric. Although a bit pricey, you won't be dissapointed. First, this fan sucks more air than the original GM fan did. Second, it is very easy to install and actually fits perfect where as some aftermarkets are too universal and take a bit of modification. I am a car enthusiast and work on something just about every day as a hobby so I know my way around engines etc. This fan took about 2 1/2 hours to install (Allowing Beverage / Cigar time) and was in my opinion very easy to install. Comes with everything you need to install with plenty of wire length. It is a bolt on unit so it is very sturdy when installed and doesn't rattle or vibrate. The only thing I could complain about is the pictures of the mounting brackets on the instruction sheet could be a little clearer and bigger. Again very small issue but I would not let that be a reason not to buy this fan. It wasn't a problem though as I...

Great Product
Easy to install and wire up. You do need some troubleshooting skills to wire up. I've had it on my 2004 Suburban for over a year. It does a great job cooling. A/C cooling is improved at low speed/idle and gas milage is up about 1mpg. Now getting 17 in city and 21 on Hwy. Even cools when towing.
Awesome!!! Keeps cool and improves horsepower plus makes it a cinch to change belts
I got this for my 2004 Silverado but I ended up putting it on my 2003 Suburban instead. It was pretty easy to install and fits well. I was able to get it installed in about an hour and a half and most of that was prepping the wiring. I loosely installed the brackets first as it was hard to get to the bolts to start them and hold the fan at the same time. So far no complaints I haven't run enough gas through it to know what it will do to the mileage but it feels improved power wise according to my butt dyno.
One quick tip though... for pulling off the fan clutch you can get an adjustable pin wrench meant for use with grinders and get it to go into 2 of the holes on the pulley so you can get it off. I got one from Harbor Freight for 3.99 and worked great after loosening the adjustment bolt and then re-tightening it after I got the pins lined up. Much cheaper than the purpose built tools and I can always use it on a grinder later!
