For those of you who are running these fans. Can you tell me what size fuse came with it? Mine blew a few nights ago and cause my car to over heat. In my rage I threw it away lol. I thought it might have been a 15amp fuse but it pops that in a second. I have a 20 in right now and would like to know if thats the right size, cause if it's not then something is wrong with one of my fans.

well if its not popping the 20 and the fan works i wouldnt really worry too much about it, i THINK those pull in the neighborhood of 15 amps so a 20 would be the correct fuse but take what i say with a grain of salt because i dont run those.

Yeah, 15 amps is really up near the top end for a dual fan setup, so a 20 A should work fine. You can check it out by holding the fans still with something to see how fast the fuse blows. If it blows within a second or two, you should be ok.

Stick your hand in the fan while its running and see if the fuse blows... I am not responsible for what happens after that lol. It is not a good idea to stop the fan in any matter... I've seen screw drivers fall from coresupports into fans and fling themselves at about 50 mph. BE CAREFUL!

I have a 20 amp on it right now and it's running good. I was having a prolem with my voltage droping when the motor would rev out. I'm take my alternator back to the rebuild shop so they can check it out again feels like I have a DSM all over again lol.

Where did you all get yours fans from and for how much... something I really need to invest to is a good Fal fan.

Oh man 1G DSMs suck for their alternators... My friends threw his belt like 5 times before he replaced his damn alternator.

Your going to over heat with the Autzone specials. They don't flow as much as the Flexa lite's. My friend tried 2 on his RB25 lol. Guess what he has now.
