FYI........I recently installed a Flexlite (model FLEX-60) fan in my 1995 Jimmy(fully loaded...including a transmission cooler). I discovered that as soon as the outside temperature got above 98 degrees it could no longer keep up with the heat generated by highway driving and running the A/C on MAX and began to overheat. I removed the fan the next day and reinstalled the stock fan and fan clutch. Granted, I gave it probably the "worse case senario" test but I would have thought Flexlite would have anticipated that it may be installed on vehicles in HOT climates like Arizona.

when a flex fan is run at high rpm the blades go flat and move no air thats why they dont work and why they are not oem

I'm pretty sure an electric fan runs at a constant RPM it is either on or off(completely independent of the engine's RPM)....and the blades are made out of a hard plastic material(dispite the brand name I'm sure they don't "flex")
