Flex-a-lite 31149 Fan Controller

Has anyone used this controller? I have an 88 camaro iroc 5.7 with the dual fan setup. Will this fan controller work with these fans?

Re: Flex-a-lite 31149 Fan Controller

I guess what it boils down to is what amperage does the stock dual fan setup draw? What does each fan draw when it first starts up and when it is running? The flex a lite controller is rated for a combined 40 amps, so if both fans won't draw more than 40 amps combined at startup (they would be wired to come on together at the same time), then it should be good.

If this is the one that is a black box with the **** on front for dialing in when you want the fan to come then I have been using it with the Taurus fan. It works perfectly.

Re: Flex-a-lite 31149 Fan Controller

i am using this one and it is just slightly more. actually this is the fourth flexalite controller i have used. it comes on at 60% at first and speeds up to 100% only if needed.

Can't be more than the dual flex-a-lite fans it works with.
