I need a new or replacement engine fan. Long story short... and to bypass the circumstances under which it happened... I backed over my fan when I had it off the truck. Ruined. One of the blades is folded. Reminds me of the time I forgot the mop bucket was under the truck and I was going down the highway with a 5 gallon wheel bucket under me. It actually held up for about a mile. I have no idea how the tiny wheels did what they did for so long.
Anyhow... I called Flexalite because I cannot find a used one. They sell a belt driven OEM style replacement series for clutch applications. But not for the D250 Diesel because the fan has a weird backspacing and notches to clear the balancer... at least thats what they said.
Further they told me to check with the dealership because there was a forced recall on the fans because they were known to loosen at the rivets and come apart through the hoods. And they said a replacement was "dealer only".
Anyone heard of this recall? Especially on such an old truck? What am I gonna do now? Dodge probably don't even have them any longer.
