Flex-lite fan

Is any one using a flex-lite fan on their truck if they even make one for the 7.3, was just wondering because i noticed how heavy the stock fan was when i replaced the water pump and figured a flex-lite would help the water pump and add a small increase in MPGs

I dont know if they make one or not for the 7.3. Ive used them on gassers before and know they work pretty good to help with additional cooling. But concidering how cool 7.3's run normally. I wouldnt think Id really want to cool it down much more unless your doing continuous heavy towing with it.

Winter they fun their trucks without fans, just joking around scatgo. I have heard that its a 20hp gain without the fan though. That's why some go electric. I'm thinking about it.
