so here I am driving home from work everything normal then suddenly i hear a wierd noise and my power steering kicks out o.O
so i pull over right away and turn off the engine and go under the hood to take a look and find the fan and pully had fallen off the front of my engine!!
i got it back on but it wont stay on… it keeps falling off… there’s no screws or anything i can see to hold it… what gives!!
ah… so… replace the water pump… sigh i checked them out online and it looks like the 4 bolt holes are attached to the piece that fell off the pump… thus why it continues to fall off…
if your water pump isn’t leaking or anything and you don’t want to spend money on a new pump you could try to remove the broken off studs. if that doesn’t work you could drill them out and just replace them with nuts and bolts.
its not the bolts that are stripped. the flange fell off the shaft… if i had a welder i could probably tack weld it on so it wont fall off again… but id never get it off ever again either
ill call mopac tomorrow and see what they say i called jb’s today they said they have a dual electric fan for 93 240’s but they wanted over 3 bills for it… and i lol’d and hung up
That’s how much a nice new electric fans cost with a thermostat :? , mopac will give you roughly the same price. If you wanna be cheap, I think that people use maxima electric fans. I’m guessing you could use that with the painless wiring kit to have a thermostat to run them.
Can’t i just buy 2 12 inch universal electric fans and just make my own wiring harness… i do install remote car starters… i don’t think it would b that hard to make one?
its really easy to make up an electric fan setup. pick up a good universal fan $100-125, make sure it can flow 2000-2500 cfm min, a good single fan is all you need. pick up an adjustable thermostat. the cheap ones that you just install a probe in the water hose. they have an adjustable knob to set were you wan the fans to kick in, around $40. run the +ve and -ve and its all done.
its cheap as shit man and i hooked em up to a battery and they flow really good with two different speeds.and if u got a wiring diagram its easy to wire them
