I've gone through 2 Hayden adjustable fan controllers while trying to set up my lincoln fan. From doing the search most are using the DCC controller I'm not sure what the delivery time is on it. Anyone have luck with the flex-a-lite FLX-31163? Any recommendations?

I have a HD dual fan controller since they draw such big loads. Was pricey, but is good insurance. Got it from jegs.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

I can say one thing about derale fan controllers.. IF you do buy one, buy the unit @hoopty5.0 is using. DO NOT buy the 54 dollar unit that late model resto sells. I bought two and they were bad right out of the box. Fortunately, LRS is awesome and refunded my money no questions asked. Thanks LRS!
