Best radiator fan kit -Alloyworks?

[Bextreme04]

I was looking for incidences of flex fans coming apart there were a bunch,way more than I would have believed or expected. But I stumbled across this little nugget of joy that I told someone on here I try to find. The actual horse power difference between an electric fan and a clutch fan aren't worth the money or effort in my opinion. But the top 2 for horsepower are 487 stock and 494 electric,and IMHO an average clutch fan and shroud will cool the truck just fine,not worth the effort and money for 7 hp which still isnt accurate because an engine dyno isn't going to have the loss from the alternator working,let alone working harder for the electric fans.

The difference comes in control. The electric fan will flow WAY more air than a clutch fan at low engine RPM. The clutch fan only flows lots of air when it detects the radiator is hot and the engine RPM is high enough to flow it. If you don't have smart control of the electric fans, then it is the worst solution you can have.

Hopefully not too late, but the Alloyworks is cheap China JUNK with lots of videos on YouTube that were freebees for marketing hype. Mine overheats under any sort of load and forget about AC.

A lot of overheating problems can be fixed by going back to your factory fan,fan clutch and preferably shroud. Most universal electric fans cannot compete with a mechanical fan. Just one incidence read it till the solution

Theres another thread about this company.... look into it. Hearing bad things about them.

I just looked at your fan Pic. Get that off of there,and replace it with a factory fan,and fan clutch. Or get your electric fans but those flex fans with no clutch,have a reputation for coming apart and hurting people and damaging hoods. IDK how much real risk there is,I won't run a setup like that. I do know that they aren't as efficient as your factory fan and clutch were.

I was shown that at a young age and never had a flex fan since.

Looking at some of the fan setups in this thread makes me shake my head. Half the radiator is covered by the so-called shroud. A fan shroud should facilitate air flowing across the entire radiator. As was stated, it works like a funnel. On these electric fan setups the shroud serves no positive effect but rather blocks air flowing through the core 100% of the time. You might as well run a half size radiator.
