Don't know why you guys want to buy them new. It's not like it's a part that wears out. They just spin around at the end of a shaft. No stress, no strain, no bearings to wear out. Last time I was at the P&P there was about a dozen S-10's in the yard that had this fan. 5 bucks, 5 bucks, 5 bucks!
Actually, diesel guys have been swapping on the plastic Duramax fans for thier 7 bladed steels for quite some time now.
There have been several used ones that have been found to be "chunked" or cracked at the blade roots.
So......used ones need to be inspected closely before being reused.
I'll stick with my 9 bladed steel thanks.
