Stock Fan vs. 4x4Parts

[ShadowManR6]

Just noticed today my fan (stock) has a nasty crack going across the base of it, wondering if it's worth shelling out the 200 or so bucks to buy one off of 4x4parts. Is there any real dramatic benefit or should i really worry about getting one over a stock original?

Head to the parts store and buy an electric fan controller, then to the wrecking yard and pick up an efan from a 3.8L Ford Taurus, install and be done with it

 

Search the forum for the efan info.. there is a TON of it here

would the fan from a 92 mercury sable work, am told it's compatible, assuming it's the same one? 2 speeds on it

It's the same thing...as long as its the 3.8 sable

those cracks right on the part lines?...my 87 had those too and it never came apart thankfully...i beat on it pretty good to make sure it still was held together pretty good...

yea those cracks wont be bad unless your fan clutch is frozen.
