My fans went out and the A/C kept blowing fuses.
I had the fans replaced with some after market ones and they make a extremely loud high pitched sound like if the bearings were bad.
I trying to find out what fans others have used and what ones would be the best fit.
The repair shop said they would be willing to change them if I could find something different.
Please help! I need to have it fixed before Uwharrie Safari.
Thanks
Rico

Why not find more stock OEM fans - new or used? - don't even mess with aftermarket.

Advance Auto has some fans I believe 11". These worked for me.

I bought mine for my RRC at summitracing.com. They are pretty trick & suck some major CFM's. I think they are designed for Mustang V-8's. Haven't touched my Disco yet. Pull off the shroud & measure stuff. Mine are "slimline" or "pancake" and they are very thin. Shouldn't have a problem fitting them. I also have a thermostat to turn them on at a certain degree & a switch for turning them off completely for high water crossings. Summitracing.com.

Thanks for the help on this one.
Joseph, do you know which model you got. Two different one seem like they might work. One was FLX-108 the other was FLX390. Were either of these the same as yours.

Thanks
Rico
