1995 GMC Jimmy Electric Fan Installation
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.

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")
