Hey guys, I 've been looking for a reversible radiator fan for my 3CX Contractor. I 've seen 2 options so far, flexxaire and cleanfix. However I didn't find a list with compatible vehicles, so I 'm asking here if anyone has experience with this kind of stuff.
Regards!

presume it's an electric fan ?
can you not fit a 6x2 switch to reverse the polarity of the supply?

is it to replace the std fan ? never really had any issues with std set up on any of the 3cx machines i have driven as standard set up pulls ambient air from the front of radiator. a reversed fan would have to pull hot air from around the engine gearbox etc and i dont think it would be any better maybe even worse and if roading i think it would overheat for sure. regular blow through rad from engine side to keep rad and oil cooler clear was what i tried to do when using backhoe with window open you could feel the heat they produced especially when it was bloody hot.

best i used was a lance type just a short length of 3/4 metal pipe with a connector like used on jackhammers with a 90 lever valve. airline like for blowing up tyres was ok but tedious. need a bloody good fan to do it with any good results.
