In this months Four Wheeler magazine they have a Diesel-Parts buyers guide. In this guide they list a Flex-a-Lite Fan that is rated at 5500 cubic feet per minute. "A fan for non-towing or light towing (6,000 pounds or less) diesel applications."
I checked out Flex-a-lite.com and it looks like this is the one they are talking about. Flex-a-Lite states that it is "an electric engine-cooling fan built for the demands of your big truck, and then some. This fan is the most powerful on the market. Diesel Applications up to 18,000 GVW".
I know some guys have been looking for a electric alternative to the heavy stock fan. This new fan from flex-a-lite might just work. I believe 5500 CFM is much more than any other electric out there. I believe that the stock fan moves around 5700 CFM. I doubt that 200 CFM would be enough difference to worry about except on the hottest days pulling the heaviest loads.
