I have the Flex-A-lite which for all I know is probably made by Hayden or at least the same place.  The thru-the-radiator probe works fine.  Just make sure to wire it on the switch side of the relay and not the power side.  I'd just get a Tyco 75 amp relay and be done with it.

I've heard some people using a Volvo 2-speed relay setup.  Kinda pricey though.

that is not a controller but a double relay, you can do the same with 2 single relays and can get 50 amp ones for $8 each brand new and brand name (even cheaper if you don't go for Bosch or similar, so i can't see how this would be cheaper than that other than having the integrated connectors). Problem is that you can't control the ON temperature, where the actual efficiency lies - it's the probe that gives that threshold where you run the fan when you shouldn't or just right so it doesn't turn on when the vehicle is moving, otherwise you fight the thermostat by closing and opening it unneccessarily.

Yea that's true, I haven't read the whole thread yet (IPhone) but from what I did read the issue is finding the right sending unit switch with the right temperature.  That would be cool though to get everything from one car.

the sending unit for that relay is a 2 stage, 3 terminal thread-in probe with a 22mm thread (aprox 7/8''). I also don't think the amperage is appropriate either as he mentioned something like 30Amps. The other thing is that if you need to replace that relay block a new one will cost you $100+

Well thought my problems were over but between working and having granddaughter down the jeep finally threw a code for the TPS after weeks of idling high off and on.  Replaced sensor and so far so good.
