Your cart is empty.The 15 Inch Flex-A-Lite Black Magic Xtreme Direct-Fit Electric Fan is an engine cooling fan designed to meet the demands of the 2003-2009 Dodge Ram with V6 and V8 Engines. This automotive fan moves 3300 cfm (cubic feet per minute) of airflow, featuring eight S-blades and a rugged nylon shroud that produces less noise than other cooling car accessories while directing air through the radiator core. With overall dimensions of 17-1/2 x 21-1/2 x 4-3/16 inches, this radiator fan draws 18 amps from a 12-volt power supply and is built in the USA with globally sourced materials. This direct-fit cooling fan bolts to O.E. mounting points of Hemi V8 Dodge Ram 2003-2009 engines, and includes a Flex-A-Lite Adjustable Thermostat Controller that varies the fan speed depending on radiator temperature to remove excess heat. Use the Flex-A-Lite Black Magic Xtreme Direct-Fit Electric Fan to replace the stock clutch fan assembly for improved performance and better fuel economy.

This is a nice kit for the Gen 3 RAM. The fan fits nicely and works well. They don't tell you beforehand that if you have separate washer and overflow containers you need a different bracket though. That bracket is sold out and unavailable. I just bought the correct container and it fits perfectly. They also don't tell you that when you use the factory bolt for the fan shroud to mount their bracket, the bolt is too long. Add a washer to it. If you don't, tightening the bolt all the way will poke a hole in your radiator. Those two issues aside the fan works great. My truck stays at the operating temperature and doesn't get hot. I'd buy this again for another truck

45 day review.The cir-clip failed and the fan is somewhere on the road. If the blades have left the vehicle this the spinning motor shaft does not cool the engine.Paper instructions do not match current version of electronics shipped.Would be nice if they included meanings of the led in a chart along with the trigger and delays.While it does work, in keeping the engine cool… I'm a bit annoyed at having to spend $55 to replace components after less than 45 days of operation.

Installed fan total pain in ass. on high speed it will shake the fenders off the truck. This fan is replacing another flex-a-lite just like it approx. 10 yr old that quit. It was very smooth till it died. Normally i stay away from inferior after market products but it was on the truck when purchased and all the original parts are gone. I'll give a update on the return . Always use amazon for parts they take trash back. Juiced auto parts refunded the cost but i'm out the cost of install removal and another install and to make matters SUCK the first fan shook so bad it loosened the end caps on my radiator now im leaking antifreeze. No more after market parts for me.

This electric fit my 2003 Dodge ram like a glove. Unfortunately it had a vibration that shook the mirrors in the truck and was very noticable when driving down the road. I contacted Flex A Lite to get a fan blade that was balanced but was told by customer service at Flex A Lite that since I bought from Amazon, Flex A Lite would not send me a replacement blade. So I contacted the seller to return the fan and get a replacement. Two days later got a RMA and an mail telling me that they were out of the fans and would be sending me a refund. So bought a replacement fan from Summit Racing. The fan that I received from Summit has been on my truck for over 6 months and is working very well. Engine temp has remained at 185 degrees with A/C on in Florida. Very happy with the electric fan.

Fit great! Obviously this is designed to fit a stock OEM radiator, comes with great instruction and aluminum brackets to mount coolant and window washer bottles. I had to make adjustments as I no longer have OEM bottles OR OEM radiator. But you can see it’s slim, and works great. For those of us that don’t have a temp sensor inside the intake manifold there is a heat probe that stabs in near the top hose to register heat. Very well made, sturdy, and cools very well!!

Works Great, I installed the Flex a lite 183 on my 2007 1500 Mega Cab 4x4 ram with the 5.7 Hemi. So far it is working great, I did a few flex a liteadd-ons with the 183, including a the 32050 sensor and 32082 in hose adapter.

Worth the money for sure, clean and easy install with some wiring, the controller works very well. Keeps my truck running cool and within temp range that I want. Highly recommended, I noticed a slight increase in gas mileage and the throttle response is better. I have an 04 Ram with the 4.7 , it also gets rid of the shroud in the engine bay freeing up space to work on the truck. I also purchased the 32050 temp sensor, the kit comes with a needle temp sensor that you stick in the radiator, that would be my only complaint on the kit itself. The sensor comes with the thread inserts needed and makes for a more secure and better temp reading.

I received my fan very quickly, but it took me a while to get around to installing it. Once I did install it,I had it in less than a week before the controller quit working. At first, the fan would keep running for 10 seconds or so after shutting off the truck. Then it took 30 seconds or more. After a few days, it wouldn't shut off at all. I found this out the hard way... my battery was practically dead, but the fan was still running. The only way to turn off the fan was by pulling the fuse that powered it. I contacted Amazon for replacement of the controller and I was given all the contact information for the manufacturer to get it replaced myself.David at Flex-A-Lite was very pleasant to deal with and rushed out a new replacement controller. I had it in my hands 3 days after initially contacting him. The replacement works great and I am very happy with how the fan works. It is easy to adjust to exactly where I want it to come on at temperature wise. It keeps the engine running at the temperature I set it at, and I have picked up a little more torque from the engine since it doesn't have to turn the heavy clutch fan assembly anymore. The fan runs at 60% when it first kicks on, but runs at 100% when the truck gets warm enough to need it. You can hear the difference between the speeds, so it's obvious the fan is working as it is designed to.The fan is very easy to install and the brackets they send with it fit perfectly. The fan enclosure feels very solid while being light-weight. I am very happy with this purchase, even with the minor glitch in the beginning.
