Check it out. So I drove down to Champaign this weekend to get the last of my stuff from my apartment. As I was driving around town, I noticed that the fans sounded...um....different. But it was working, so I just went on about my business. Later, I parked my car, and there was clearly a WEIRD sound coming from the fan area. Popped the hood and looked around...hmmmm.
The FAN BLADE FELL OFF THE FAN MOTOR!
Yeah, the passenger side fan blade on my Flex-A-Lite dual 12" fans FELL OFF. I was able to do some quick work and just take the blade out of there (it was bouncing around in the shroud and dinging my Koyo radiator because the other fan was hitting it).
Well, long story short, I drove the rest of the way home with just one fan and it was fine. In fact, it ran cooler on the highway because there was less resistance for the air to flow through. Now I just have to call Flex-A-Lite and see what they want to do about this!!! I need a new bolt to hold the blade on the motor!
