Re: Cooling Fan reccomendations

I run a flex-a-lite 295(I think) on both my C/10 and my K/10. You will pick up a mile or two per gallon and feel a little more grunt when you shove the skinny pedal. They do draw a lot of INITIAL amperage. The draw isn't that high once they get moving. I upgraded both my trucks to 108 amp alternators and have had no problems.
