6.0 powerstroke fan clutch

I need to replace the fan clutch on my 05 dually and looking to see if anyone here has used the flex a lite electric fan conversion or know anyone else that has and how good they work.
A replacement from fan clutch from Ford is roughly $530.00, or I can get an aftermarket for around $250.00 but have not had great luck with aftermarket parts.
Flex a lite fan kit starts at 600.00 or 710.00 with variable speed controller. Comes w/new aluminum shroud and two 15" fans.
Thanks,
Sheldon G.

I'll let you know by end of summer. I am going to put one on in about 10 days.

Replace with a factory part.

Absolutely.

That factory clutch fan works its ass off. I'm not sure I'd trust an electric to keep me from cooking a diesel pulling a load. Many 6.0's already have their share of potential problems. I wouldn't invite another one.

All good points and im not saying buy the electric fan setup but i did have the dual flex a lite on my 02 lightning and it worked great! It was not a work truck that pulled anything so .........

Run that thing too hot and see if it doesn't spit out the gaskets.

not only does it have to pull air axross the radiator but also and intercooler and a huge ass trans cooler along w a ps cooler as well.

The factory fan moves a huge amount of air, not sure an electric could pull off the same feat or not.

Thanks for the responses, haven't been on in a few days. The electric fan I decided against due to the lead time from either Jeg's or Summit so I bought a Hayden fan clutch instead of the Ford unit. Hayden has a good rep for cooling parts IMO so for 1/2 the Ford $$ I'll take a shot.
Now I'm trying to chase down a vibration (had prior to fan clutch R&R) that is RPM  related starting about 1600 or so & seems to go away under load. Found a V band clamp at downpipe a little loose & still checking other fasteners, exhaust etc. Hope it's nothing serious!
Thanks, Sheldon

Looks like they have a recall on them as the fuse holder and circuit breakers are too lite and melt.

Scrap that idea and back to OEM.

You'd have to wire in a high current relay...not hard to do, but I'd still use the clutch deal.
