Ok, I guess I am going to open my big mouth again. This was just a thread that was "in discussion" about people posting advertisement on the DML. If I am not mistaken it is clearly stated that there is no advertising on the DML in the rules. Now if someone posted a response saying "check out our/my website for more details and pricing" that I feel is ok...but to give out prices and compare them to other vendor prices on the DML I feel is wrong. On another note: I am an electrical engineer and comparing a Heavy Duty Relay to a "Smart" Logic circuit with Heavy Duty Relays is a big difference (I am sure Mr. Zilla could better describe it since he disigned it). The cost of the Zilla is the cost of engineering, design and guarantee of the electronic circuit and circuit board plus a small profit. I think for the price it's going fo it's a very good price. I know the costs involved in designing and building circuits...I was in charge of designing prototype circuit (very complex circuits I might add :-)) and I know what's involved and the costs. I am not arguing that one is better than the other, but to directly compare the two is way out in left field and you are comparing apples to oranges. >From what I have seen on the site about the MaxiBrute...it looks like an open Relay (not encased)...that has no place in any automotive application. Moisture WILL affect the contacts of the relay causing oxidation and leading to intermittent contacts. Also if any thing comes in contact with with the relay contacts and shorts it out (to ground, each other, ect) you are going to have a BIG problem. If you look at any other car relay, every relay is encased in a plastic housing and it is completely sealed at the seams. Even if there was a plastic cover that is placed over it, it still won't be sealed from the elements. You also said that you can leave only one fan on and one off? NO WAY would you want to do that. You are then only cooling one half of the radiator and leaving the other hot? Using my Jeep as an example, it has two fans, one mechaincal one electric (as do other cars do too). There is a temp sensor on the half of the radiator where the electric fan sits...if the temp rises to high it kicks it on, temp drops turns it off. The reason why I am using my Jeep as an example is because it has the same type of cooling system as the D, an enclosed one. When my electric fan died on me I had problems coming close to overheating since there was only one fan doing all the cooling....and that one was on all the time! Sorry I had to post this but I will always support good comments posted and feel that I have to speak out against negative ones that are posted. My two cents worth. Steve BTW, I X'ed out all the prices, don't need to advertise them again. --- In dmcnews@xxxx, dherv10@xxxx wrote: > <SNIP> My fan fix also addresses the low voltage > problem to the main relay that the Zilla doesn't.
