Running Hot?

You had me until the flex fan...

I've seen and heard about flex fans coming apart... I would not use one...

Other than that, I agree with what you said...
Well thanks...
I've run it for ..****, since 2006.

People hear a lot of things...and a lot of things used be made like **** or out of ****. Trial and error was at the race track and even the factory production line with poor designs.. Dont you remember those green fiberglass fans back in the late 70's and eighties? Those came apart all the time being that they were made out if the same green fiberglass you old lawn shed was made of. I think stories get confused and others just use a poor/cheap product.
Things change and you learn something new every day whether you realize it or not.
