    Default Tubular Mounting Brackets for Flex-A-Lite 180 Electric Fan

    I have produced a prototype mounting bracket set to fasten the Flex-A-Lite 180 electric fan to my 1998 Dodge Dakota. It should fit the Dodge Dakota 1997-1999 and Durango 1998-2000 that are no longer using the OEM trans cooler lines on the right side of the radiator, since they have made modifications to reroute those lines for an aftermarket transmission cooler. However, I realize this will probably not be a big seller. lol I may modify the right bracket for use with the OEM transmission lines that are fastened to the radiator cooler but am not sure. I will use this design on my truck and am doubtful I will produce many more.

    Has anyone had issues with this fan not cooling well enough? I eventually want to swap out my Lincoln can for something that draws less and hopefully not as thick.

    I never had any problem. I have a pretty stout 360 build and was at Woodward cruise. Gridlock for an hour and never had problems

    I've never had it over heat but it does run hotter than I'd like if I get stuck in traffic and it's hot outside. I don't have a/c either so I think I would have problems if I did. Keep in mind I have a short filled block though. For full flowing water jacket blocks I think it would be fine as mentioned.
