Bad E-Fan news!
Today I was doing some wheeling. So I went through some mud/water puddles at a decent speed, got mud and water everwhere and inside the truck throught the windows, no big deal. Then I stopped and heard this crazy whizzing noise and shut the truck off immediately. I turned it back on and the same sound happened a few seconds later, shut the truck off again. Figured the engine got some water in it and was just running odd, but it was real odd. Opened the hood and there was some water in the air filter, and I looked at my e-fan, and there's 1 blade left on it!!!!! I guess going through the puddle threw too much water into the blades and snapped them. So yeah...i'm gonna need a new fan. I have the proform one from summit. Do they make replaceable blades by any chance or should I just buy a whole other one? Since I have the wiring all done it will be an easy swap, Is there another fan that will work with the same wiring that would be better? Any recommendations?

the temp probe is the same as the kit you have now. we are in NC so there will be no problem having the kit to you in time, we have just about everything in stock, but some wire loom we will have to go get. we will try to get it out tomorrow but at the very latest it would go out tuesday, UPS Ground, and it wont take very long to get to you

Know what, I just realized I have a test Tuesday morning, so tomorrow I'm tied up with studying. How about tuesday? Are you good for that. I get out of class around 430- 5, and mapquest says it should take about an hour to get to your place (maybe earlier). Let me know. How do you want to do the payment for the fan? Cash, Credit, Money Order?
