The best thing I like about them is I have them set to run even after I shut the engine down. Depending on the day they may cycle twice after the truck is sitting. They do a good job of cooling that old big block down. I can also adjust the temp for the season in case I need my heater core to come alive faster when it's cold outside.
What kinda cash did this little modification run? I like the idea of not running the belt driven fan all the time, that's gotta be at least a couple horsepower lost to that belt, and efficiency saves gas!
