Not sure sure what brand, a friend had several in his garage so I took the one with 5 blades thinking it would move more air. Bought a cheap adjustable thermostat from advanced auto and wired direct to the battery. Put an inline fuse also. Wiring direct to the battery will allow it to run after there truck is shut off. Which doesn`t bother me any and will cool it down faster. Never runs more than a minute at most. Definatly notice a difference driving, not a lot but there is a diffrence
