FAN cfm

[bputty]

On my 2000 Lincoln LS, V-8, can anyone tell me what the cfm's are at low and high speeds of the hydraulic fan.

It's a variable speed fan, not a two speed fan. The PCM controls it to any speed between full speed and min speed. As a practical matter, it's probably more like a ten speed fan. I haven't found any spec on the CFM of the fan. My best guess is that it's somewhere between 3000 and 5000 CFM (at max speed).

Thanks, I am planning to replace the hydraulic fan unit with a Flex-a-Lite Model 188, 3,300 cfm and a Flex-a-Lite fan control, thermostatic, adjustable, 160° to 220°. Do you concur?

That should work. Here are some threads on similar ideas.

The Flex-a-Lite 183 is what I am using and its working great. I have installed several of these in LS's. I have mine wired on with key because those cheap radiator temp probes are hard to dial in perfectly and are inconsistent.

Is that the whole assembly or do you have part numbers for the electric motor as well?
