For Sale 4, 5, And 7 Blade Fans

You’re obviously a Jeep fan. So now own a Jeep fan.
$20 each

 

7 blade best way to keep V6 cool.

 

That 7 blade fan looks ALLOT like a 7 blade fan I bought that 'fits' Jeep. The only thing is it fits an AMC powered Jeep. It won't fit a GM powered Jeep.
The fastener pattern is different from AMC (same as Ford I think) to GM.

 

I just checked it and 7 blade fits and bolts to Dauntless water pump just fine.

 

I'm interested in the 7 blade fan if no one else has already claimed it. Sending PM.

 

Yeah - that 7 blade fan is HARD TO FIND!

I used a 6 blade universal flex fan and it works fine...a bit quieter also.

 

The 5 blade fan is the odd asymmetrical version.

 

Put me in line for the 7 blade if no one else has taken it. Need one for my Commando.

 

It’s going to Roy.
Stick figure 5blade available.

 

I was going off my memory and got the numbers wrong. Looks like 15" and I am looking for 15-1/2". I don't believe a
16" will have enough clearance when the jeep articulates. I am using the smaller radiator with a shroud. New radiator.
I have an electric pusher on it also. Sometimes takes forever to warm up and when it does, the temp goes too high
even with both fans. May need to change the t-stat again and test it this time before installing. Lots to contemplate
on this.

 

So... I'm 'THIS' close to ordering a 16" fan from Summit. I always thought there was too much radial gap between that 15" flex fan and my shroud. I have very accurate electronic gauges. The 15" flex fan always matched the stock 4 blade fan with cooling. I thought it should do a little better.
I'm not too concerned if the fan touches the shroud in extreme flex...maybe I'll change my mind.

 

I put one of these on my CJ last year before the Utah trip...the gauge stayed right on 180 even on hot days in the desert doing lots of low range crawling.

 

Fireball got a GREAT DEAL.

 

Wait, there’s another Roy!

 

I hope it's not one of those "There can only be one" things!

 

The 7-blade fan you're referring to is indeed from an AMC straight six. I bought one of those same fans last year, and found that except for the spacing of the mounting holes, it's identical to the OEM Dauntless 7-blade fan.

If you can find someone with a milling machine to slot each of the four mounting holes about 1/16" towards the center, it'll fit the Dauntless water pump perfectly.

I've had trouble with the larger fans with more blades prematurely wearing out the water pump bearings. My solution was to use a plastic fan from some junkyard Ford product in conjunction with a through-the radiator-mounted thermostatically controlled electric fan. Not perfect, but the water pump is still holding up. Also, the larger fans didn't like hitting the water on deep fords...but then I admit to my past abusive driving habits....
