Cause I wanted traction...Your engine will cool better with the stock fan. You might get better ac with elec though. Check flex a lite online...

As soon as they come out with one for the 6.0L, I'll have it!!

Quoted from their site:

Eliminate the stock belt-driven fan and shroud with the Power Stroke electric fan to improve gas mileage, horsepower, torque and air conditioning temperature.

The new Power Stroke Diesel fan measures 30” x 26” x 4 ½” pulls up to 6000 cubic feet per minute and draws 28-36 amps. Features a fabricated diamond plated aluminum shroud with mounting points made specifically for the radiator. The variable speed control module independently operates the fans from 60% to 100% depending on engine temperature and a/c activation. An optional manual switch (Flex-a-lite #31148) allows the electric fan to be turned off through water crossings. Custom brackets make this a bolt-on installation, and should be limited to GCVW of 18,000 lbs..

Recover 27HP and boost your fuel mileage by 6% just by
eliminating your stock clutch fan assembly

YOUR ABOUT 4 HOURS AWAY FROM BETTER PERFORMANCE
