That is the controller I bought. It is a well put together unit. It is
currently waiting to install in my truck. The Mustang guys love it. Although it
is a little expensive, it does everything you want and then some. Much more
versatile than the relays and such, and less wiring. It laso lowers the power
drain which should eliminate the need for a bigger alternator. Considering a
viper fan alone is $150-200 new, I still came out ahead.
