Id like to change out my fan, its missing one blade and causes a slight vibration, car never overheats, it runs cool and nice, but Im thinking either now, new 7 blade fan for 7Ms, or electric... ALSO I was looking at the Flex-A-Lite mechanical fans, the metal blades, will any of those work?

If I go Electric, what size diameter do I need and Dual or Single? I need a lil help here and yes I searched. I always get too many results to sift through

I have a very clean 10 blade fan for sale if you are interested.

I really appreciate it but I know Id also need the GTEs clutch to make that work, my goal right now is to find electric fans UNDER $200 so I can eliminate the clutch and get a lil power from that, better cooling, and no vibrations.. for reference though, how much?

So... 60 bucks for a new fan.

IDK who told you cooling would improve with an electric setup, or that you'll gain power from it... but you might want to add a massive chunk of salt to their statement.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

Ok i about fell over hahaha, alright so can anyone tell me if one of those flex a lite blades will bolt on to our clutch and be ok? and if so what size?

Maybe you just worded the sentence wrong...... but you can't bolt on the FALs to the fan clutch. I'll just pretend that you weren't paying attention to what you were typing when you wrote "fal blades bolting to our clutch" :slap: :beer:

He means the "mechanical" fans, not the electric. FAL makes more than electric fans...check out their website. No it won't work due to the bolt pattern.

Kinda hard to decipher your timing post but from what I gathered no, it's not right. If it's not 10 with the jumper in it's not right.

I made it 14 WITH jumper... I was gonna do 10 but I advanced it.

Hm, wasn't actually aware of FAL making mechanical ones too. My bad on that then.
