Check Your Fan Blade!!!!!

Metric to standard conversion class was in junior high school here.
Love the u.s.a.

I've searched, no such cases.

There is at least one in this thread. Besides, seeing your repairs bubble gum and tape is probably more likely than replacing it with something right.

Then you should have no problem changing that fan. Good luck.

I already told you IN ENGLISH - that case was different! And where did you see my repair with "bubble gum and tape"? Or you just another troll?

I will, don't sweat.

Your English comprehension must be poor indeed. No where does it say it fell off.
It says it catastrophicly failed.

Metric is so superior? That must be why Russian automobiles are so popular worldwide.

The bubble gum and tape refers to your inability to work with a basic quick disconnect fuel line, where your only recourse is to yank it off like a chimp, and use hose clamps.

I got it, I hurt your feelings long ago and now you trying to bite me, chap. This is so funny. So I don't think it's necessary to answer to your pitiful attacks. Take it easy.

 

[BKennedy]

All right, let's knock off the bickering. Myself included.

Um, when women judge a man's potential they never use metric reference. I might add, when working on superior USA made vehicles, you might want to get with the program .

I assure you that your opinion doesn’t mean enough to hurt me.

In the words of Rodney King: "Can't we all just get along?" All I'll say about metric vs. Imperial - I have a ruler with metric on one side and Imperial on the other. Most if not all the measurements on my Explorer are metric, although I've found a couple where a 7/16" socket is useful.

 

[radman]

Won't fit the Ex without redrilling and the front ones are in the wrong place as well. Been there, done that, not worth the hassle.

Best to remove Explorer roof racks for a slight MPG improvement, very few people use them at all. MHO

Funny you should mention that, was just thinking of that. Don't use it anyway. Someone might want it?

I have owned 3 new Explorers and removed the roof rack from all of them. A 1991, 1993, and a 1999 and actually had the 91 removed by the new car dealer after they had replaced the rear differential twice for a humming noise while under warranty. Not only was the noise fixed by removing the roof rack but fuel economy was improved. Sorry for hi-jacking the fan thread. Mike

Gonna revive an old thread, hope its worth it.

Is this the metal fan I've been reading about?

@traveler

I'm almost positive that's what I have.

Notice the off-spacing of blades to create more turbulence

I know this is an old comment, but it's spot on.

Ok, good to know. Now, does it move more or less air than the OEM plastic one? My plastic one apparently rubbed up against my modified shroud (I cut it when I did the body lift) and the tips seem to be showing the signs of it. (They're a little shorter!)

Not sure about air flow but it isn't plastic.
If the fan is rubbing,
You might want to check motor mounts and the upside down motor mount plate bolts. The upside down ones can fall out.
