spread some parts along the road

a bad motor mount can let the motor torque upwards on a quick start and allow the fan to munch the shroud

complete crap shoot as to when it's going to blow, ****er may last another 300k miles or blow up the next time you start

You just made us all very happy!

I guess I had best take a good look in the daylight tomorrow as I just blew money on the front suspension arm replacement deal and figure some other part of the car will be jealous now...

those fan blades suck, sometimes ill sell a half to a whole dozen new ones in a weeks time, unless the clutch is locked up (seen it) it should kick out by design before it gets to dangerous speeds

Any suggestion for manufacturer brand?

[winfred]

the dealer would probably be the best i haven't really found a aftermarket unit that impressed me, should be around $50

Hahaha, such a bitch when that happens...

Mental images of an angry fan under the hood gumbling "F*cker!" and going up with a nasty pop.

well put in the repaired radiator and the new fan, damaged the trans cooler so temporarily bypassed it until I can take the radiator out again and put in a new cooler. man oh man that tranny fluid is under some pressure!! lost 3 qts in about 45sec. didnt realize it was spewing like a guyser (sp.) until i noticed the spray hitting my 525. The cooler pipes were not aligned correctly and I ripped the o-rings and damaged the aluminum block connector.
now my biggest issue is the tranny. Lets fill it from the pan, thats a great idea WTF. and we'll give you some temperatures that you'll need it to be at so it can spill out some more as if 3 qts in the driveway wasn't enough!!!!???!!
well its ok for now... no dents in hood thatk God.
