When I was installing my throttle body a while back I noticed the OEM fan blade was starting to get cracks on it due to old age and the severe heat here in TX. Dealer prices are between 120-150 for just the blade! I've looked on Ebay and the cheapest I found was around 50.00 with 25.00 shipping. The only thing I didn't trust about the 50.00 unit is I'm pretty sure it's for the 3.7L vs 5.3L.
As many of you guys know I am pretty darn good at locating either other OEM parts that are compatible or aftermarket/other make parts that are also fully compatible PNP. I just ordered a fan blade for a 94-99 Land Rover Range Rover Classic/Series I Discovery with the 3.9/4.0/4.2 V8 engine. From what I can tell the fan blade has the exact same amount of blades and nearly the same design except the newer Rover blades are now black plastic vs the older white blades. I found one brand new for 9.90!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it indeed works then that is one heck of a massive price savings vs the OEM blade.
Will keep you guys posted on the results when I get it in and try to install it.
