    yes u can but they draw a lot of amps. if ur running a bunch of electrical accessories, they could be a problem

    I'm running a advanced controller and have not had any issues. I want to upgrade to something better for more control over the fans

    you can install any fans, i believe, just have to custom mount them, it all depends on the controller you buy, the link i posted b4 has one specific for the taurus fans, i would assume any year with the 2 spd fans would work, i know my lil bros '96 taurus has dual fans, i'm gonna go to the pick and pull and dig through their mound of fans, haha

    i also found a forum post on another website at one time that compared the delta controller to the flex a lite controller, the flex a lite controller burned up and the delta controller never moved the temp gauge off 180*

    what kind of oil are you going to use? i heard that you can gain a small percent when you use a full synthetic oil

    well i use pennzoil synthetic 10/30 in the summer and 5/30 in the winter and i have just under 271,000 on the truck but i was just saying i heard that you get better gas mileage with synthetic because it is more fine and free flowing then reg oil so it has less resistance in the motor so you run less rpms to get better mileage. so i heard
