Exploding Cooling fan

[Creager]

I have a 92 XL with a splitting cooling fan. Problem is i cant find a replacement anywhere. Flex fans are about the only thing i can find in autopart stores around the charlotte north carolina area. a Flex fan would be great but they dont support the fan clutch our trucks have.

I talked to someone about a spacer/adapter for the flex fan, but he didnt know where to get it and i havent had any luck finding one. I went to the junk yard today in hope in finding a stock fan.

Closest i got was a 97 with a decent looking fan; but that is last resort. Will a 2 gen cooling fan work on a first gen? Does anybody know of anywhere i can get a replacement fan and spacer?

Surprisingly, the general consensus is to leave it and don't worry. Try a search for 'cracked fan'. You should find posts from 5 or 6 years ago about this. Everone's is cracked it seems, and no one's has actually come apart that I have heard.

I easily found mine at the ford Dealership
