Product Details

The Flex-A-Lite 1018 is an 18-inch low-profile mechanical flex fan engineered for engine bays with limited clearance. Featuring 6 flexible aluminum blades mounted on a steel hub, this fan delivers efficient airflow while minimizing parasitic drag on the engine — resulting in improved performance and better fuel economy.

The flex-blade design automatically adjusts pitch based on engine speed: at low speeds the blades cup air for maximum cooling, and at highway speeds they flatten to reduce load on the engine. The fan measures 1-1/4 inches deep and is engineered for clockwise rotation, making it well-suited for 4- and 6-cylinder applications.

Key Features:

  • 18-inch diameter with 6 flexible aluminum blades
  • Low-profile design — only 1-1/4 inches deep — ideal for tight engine bays
  • Clockwise rotation; no clutch required
  • Steel hub with natural-finish aluminum blades
  • Reduces parasitic engine drag for better performance and fuel efficiency
  • Designed for 4- and 6-cylinder engines
  • Sold individually
  • One-year manufacturer warranty

The Flex-A-Lite 1018 flex fan is a direct-fit mechanical cooling solution that balances effective engine cooling with minimal power loss, making it an ideal upgrade or replacement for stock mechanical fans.

Stellar !

I ordered 8 steel rims to install snow tires on my 2 Chrysler mini vans and was happy with the price and quality!

Great price

Easy & quick

Great experience will do business with again

Great price and free delivery!

My part was exactly what I wanted at a great price and fast shipping. ill defiantly order from autoplicity.com in the future. THANKS GUYS!!!

Good Price and Hoping recieved my items quick. Thank You

Great service, cheap prices and fast shipping. I will repeat.

Would like a better way to narrow or filter parts. You have a wide variety but I had to scroll through a lot of parts to find what I needed. The radiator had free shipping, but when adding other parts the shipping went up, so I ended up not buying additional parts. I would set a dollar amount for free shipping.

Easy shopping and best, or close enough, price.

Quick, easy, painless, excellent deal!!

Had exactly what I was looking for and very easy transaction. Thanks

Completely amazed by this seller. I recieved the rack in just 2 days and the price was unbeatable. I'm just stoked to have finally found a bike rack worth having!!

Ordered a K&N air filter from these guys because they about cut the cost to half what I found everywhere else. Planning on buying a few more items in the near future considering the savings.I'm bookmarking their page now. Motorcyclists I'd suggest doing the same ;)
