Fan Motors

[insaniti]

my car is in need of two fan motors and a thermostat. a mechanic quoted me with $400-500 for the work...

with a thermostat being no more than $15...how much do the fan motors run?

(the car is a 91 laser rs turbo auto)

Ditch the stock fans and buy two of these 12" fans.

You just use zip ties right through the fins on the rad and zip tie them on. They come supplied with the special zip ties to do this. They work incrediably well, are very slim so you get lots of extra room and flow lots of air. Never mind the fact that they look pimp.

They are $60 each, whoptie do. You can change them yourself as well.

You could buy two new slim fans with a higher CFM for cheaper than $300. Oh and you live in Montrose?

You can buy two of those slim line fans in my post for $120, not $300. They are perfectly fine and work well, trust me.

I use to live in montrose, I need to change that. I just moved to montoursville just outside williamsport pa.

I was hoping that I could just replace the motors because I will be selling the car once these repairs are made. are the slim fans cheaper then just replacing the motors?

I'd recommend calling up a Mitsu or Chrysler dealer for part pricing. Slowboy sells two slim fans:

I go to college down in Williamsport. You should also check out the Central PA club: http://www.cpa-dsm.org/
