I know this has been talked about here before, but I'm unable to get a good answer about a replacement. Our radiator sprung a leak and so I pulled it and we're having it re-cored. Looking through the threads I found a Flex A Lite 8681 discussion. I can't find that fan or any cross reference. I called Foretravel and Brad looked up the part number for my fan and of course gave me the number 8681. Has anyone found a direct fit replacement?
While the radiator is out, I'm replacing the thermostats, belts, fan and water pump while everything is easily accessible. Any other preventative maintenance suggestions while it's easy to get to?
Thanks in advance!
Is the fan a standard 6 bolt pusher ?
It is.
I've been looking and found a 9 blade that goes on a Kenworth T800. Looks like it would fit.
Can someone please point me in a direction where I can find a fan?
I've been searching and calling around with no luck.
What engine do you have?
Cat 3208
I bought one on eBay. Pretty sure that I posted it here if you can search my post.
I also cut it down to fit and balanced it .
The stock size was 29 in ?
This is not a direct fit for me. It supplements my 6 electric fans by mi ing a small amount of air.
But the rotation and bolt spacing is correct.
The fan blades hit the crank pully by a small amount .
My original fan is a 28 inch. I found one that would bolt right in and is the right diameter, but it's a puller and not a pusher. What are your thoughts on reversing it?
Found a place that makes a pusher, hortonww.com but they don't sell direct, so Monday I'm going to call a distributor and see if I can get direct fit.
Search eBay for the correct rotation .
Pretty sure it CCR . They are out there . If you can find the eBay listing for my fan. Click on it and look for others.
FYI
I found a place that was able to help me with a fan.

I called em up, gave the guy a few specs and the new fan will ship same day. Very reasonably priced!
I'll update you when the new fan gets here and how well it fits.
