RE: [DML] Fan Fix

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom and Group,
I bought a CFM meter last week and I am learning how to use it.
The new fans draw 11 amps of run current compared to the original at 28
amps. For as long as I can remember the group has always talked about and
have looked for ways to lessen the current draw on the electrical system. We
have look at light bulbs that can make a 3 to 5 amp difference but nothing
major. I feel the new pancake fans is a major current break thru for our
car.
It may not be for everyone, but it has it's place. It's just the newest
technology for the times.
Also, over the years been a lot of pro's and cons over running 2 fans vs. 1
fan. I feel this is respectful as to where you live and what time of the
year it is and how fast your going. The rule of thumb I believe is 30 to 40
MPH and the fans are no longer drawing air. So why have them running and
drawing all the 28 + amps when you don't need it. No matter whether you
stagger them on and off or switch them on and off. Yes, My Fan Fix is
different in design because they run straight off the battery and not off
the wiring loom of the car so there is no need to stagger and rob power from
other components.
So for those reasons I produced the new Fan's and continue to have good
sales on
The Fan Fix 2 x 2.

This will certaintly draw alot of opinions so I will add mine.  The cost of
John's  new shroud and the fans would be more expensive than the fixes
available.  While this looks like a great product I believe I heard John say
at P.F. that it does not pull as much air as the original (please correct me
if I am wrong) even though it does draw less power. Not that this is a bad
thing........That would be a question for others to answer.

I have been a loyal ZILLA customer and will offer my 2 cent towards the
FANZILLA product as it has been one of the best investments I have made.
The other fan fixes may be worthwhile but my understanding is that these
operate differently than FANZILLA.  The sequential operation of the fans
dramatically improves power loss and has worked for me 100% with total
satisfaction.   Again this is personal opinion, but I think that if you can
get a FANZILLA unit I suggest buying it even though some feel it is too
expensive.

Bottom line?.......Pick which one you feel most comfortable with.  Your
question is certaintly fair to ask but I think that with so many people on
the list you will find there is no conclusion answer.
