Re: AC and fanzilla question

Ok, I guess I am going to open my big mouth again. This was just a 
thread that was "in discussion" about people posting advertisement on 
the DML. If I am not mistaken it is clearly stated that there is no 
advertising on the DML in the rules. Now if someone posted a response 
saying "check out our/my website for more details and pricing" that I 
feel is ok...but to give out prices and compare them to other vendor 
prices on the DML I feel is wrong.

On another note: I am an electrical engineer and comparing a Heavy 
Duty Relay to a "Smart" Logic circuit with Heavy Duty Relays is a big 
difference (I am sure Mr. Zilla could better describe it since he 
disigned it). The cost of the Zilla is the cost of engineering, 
design and guarantee of the electronic circuit and circuit board plus 
a small profit. I think for the price it's going fo it's a very good 
price. I know the costs involved in designing and building 
circuits...I was in charge of designing prototype circuit (very 
complex circuits I might add :-)) and I know what's involved and the 
costs. I am not arguing that one is better than the other, but to 
directly compare the two is way out in left field and you are 
comparing apples to oranges. 

>From what I have seen on the site about the MaxiBrute...it looks like 
an open Relay (not encased)...that has no place in any automotive 
application. Moisture WILL affect the contacts of the relay causing 
oxidation and leading to intermittent contacts. Also if any thing 
comes in contact with with the relay contacts and shorts it out (to 
ground, each other, ect) you are going to have a BIG problem. If you 
look at any other car relay, every relay is encased in a plastic 
housing and it is completely sealed at the seams. Even if there was a 
plastic cover that is placed over it, it still won't be sealed from 
the elements.

You also said that you can leave only one fan on and one off? NO WAY 
would you want to do that. You are then only cooling one half of the 
radiator and leaving the other hot? Using my Jeep as an example, it 
has two fans, one mechaincal one electric (as do other cars do too). 
There is a temp sensor on the half of the radiator where the electric 
fan sits...if the temp rises to high it kicks it on, temp drops turns 
it off. The reason why I am using my Jeep as an example is because it 
has the same type of cooling system as the D, an enclosed one. When 
my electric fan died on me I had problems coming close to overheating 
since there was only one fan doing all the cooling....and that one 
was on all the time!

Sorry I had to post this but I will always support good comments 
posted and feel that I have to speak out against negative ones that 
are posted.

My two cents worth.

BTW, I X'ed out all the prices, don't need to advertise them again.
