I use a Derale adjustable thermostat with a HELLA relay replacing the crappy relay supplied.
about what was the cost?

Keeps the temps just right, even in the brutal heat and humidity of Florida.

IMHO, with the stop-n-go traffic we have, it does a better job than the viscous fan which needs to have the engine-rev'd to really work (remember, viscous fan disengages at 3800-4000 RPM).
exactly, the engine must be revving to get any help from the vfc, that's the real reason why i like the electric fans. the electric fans work independently and can go on and off as required by temps.
