They did for me even though they had to order both wires.

Well they swapped them out,....with a $6 & change to boot, which I expected.

Then I had to pop the lock mechanism to install the connectors with grommets.

Mine didn't have the lock that yours does. I just ran my engine last week and I really like how the controller works the fan. I let the engine get to 190 to see how it would get the temp down. The fan speed doubled until it got the temp down to 160. I don't think I will have any overheating problems.

Could you hear the fan over the engine at that doubled speed?

Headers?

Hood closed?

I really don't want to hear it over the engine, but I figure at times it will be inevitable.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I bet most people wouldn't notice it. I have a tti full 2.5" exhaust with dynomax ultra flows so my car isn't quiet either. I was in my garage so the exhaust sound was echoing off the walls so the fan may sound louder outside.

Feets,

I have read through all of this (mostly), could not see the pictures you posted from 2010. I would like to make this change, but need to know a few things first. I apologize in advance if I skipped over the answer in one of the previous posts

1) new vs old style. We want the new style? What vehicle application do I look for?
2)does the new style require a "controller"? Or can I just wire +, -, and a 12VDC for the trigger?

FYI - I am replacing a dual flexalite setup that one of the fans after 10 years decided to go south. I have a 165 amp GM alternator so no power issues there

Thanks again for all the info

top of the 3rd page, it shows the old style fan that needs to have the controler. you can see the fins of the heat sink poking out.

it appears any fan will work, however the thinest setup appears to come from c-class type cars.

feets has a few cars and years listed in one of the other posts.

it comes down to how much clearence you have, if you can get the fan in there.

without the controler and only applying 12 volts to the fan, be aware, it will come on full speed.
if you hook up a temp controler to turn it on and off, even here in texas, it only runs for a little while and turns off again.

if you have a/c you will have to rig another switch to make it come on, or a trinary.
but you will have the same problem where the fan cycles a lot.

You are going to want the controller.

I installed a Mercedes fan in my 67 Coronet. I have a champion 3 core radiator and I had to clearance my water pump shaft and bolts to get it to fit.

Another angle

Here you can see how it fits on the radiator

Had to make some heavy duty brackets

Nice job.

How is it working out for you?

It is working great. It's nice to hear it bump up when the engine is working hard and then automatically slow down. Most of the time I it just blows half speed or less. And I expect a lot out of it because I get pissed if I go above 180. I have a 160 degree thermostat and my avg temp is 170-175. I'm running a 493 with A/C that is driven mostly on the street so I wanted the best system I could afford. And this $200 radiator and $100 Mercedes fan fit the bill. Although the controller was an unexpected expense it was worth it.

Rapom,

I am loooking to do this on a 67 coronet 383. Can you tell me how much room you have from the backof the radiator to the bolts on the water pump? I have a little more than 3.5" and want to make sure this will fit before I buy anything.

Also,
I see a lot of 97-98 fan C230 fan assemblies out there, the don't have the controller and probably not the power but are they sufficient? What about the HHR fans? I think they are too wide (4+") for my application.

I got 3 5/8" between radiator and water pump pulley bolts. Bolts and pulley shaft are shaved.

3/16" clearance between fan and pulley bolts.
My radiator is a Champion 3 core.

i have one if anyone needs it.

hello Mr feets or anyone who can help me I got a fan from a c class 05-07 I installed it hooked it up and it works but goes high to low back high then low and back high and so on ,any ideas I am just trying to hook her up to a switch since I am racing my 67 belvedere gtx any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks Frank

pics of the fan, and how you wired it would help in figuring out what is going on.

I got the plug on the driver side facing down ward the big terminal closer to the radiator I made it positive the other big terminal I put as ground and the little one on top of the ground I made hott it turns on flows the right way but once it hits max speed it shuts down then goes back to max speed and back to low and so on. maybe I got a bad fan I used little test wires maybe it's too much juice for the wires I will try and get some pics lil later any ideas thanks Frank
