Uh, no. Our coach has the hated, derided, despised, obsolete, fuel sipping Detroit Diesel 8.2L V8 engine with turbo, rated at 200Hp.
Runs great, starts instantaneously even after sitting all winter in storage, averages 8-9 MPG towing our 2006 Saturn Vue All wheel drive, slows down on steep hills and crests the tops cautiously. Uses only 12 qts of 15-40 Rotella oil with the two 2 quart filters.

 It suits our use admirably and is the envy of all who don't know about DD 8.2L engines. ^.^d  :))

You may have just located the cheapest replacement part for the engine of any FT anywhere. I was fully expecting that to be closer to a CB.

First I talked to a Josh Harnesy at Superior fan via email. He sent info request form for me to fill out.
I filled it out, emailed it back, got a reply with part #828200-24" nylon fan. Not too much later I got another email apology from Josh saying that he missed the 8.2 L DD spec and the DD 8.2L fan mount has a 2.05 pilot diameter for the fan to locate on.
New, correct part number then was #828205-24" Number of blades went from 6 to 7
Really looking forward to getting coach home from storage in a couple weeks. Have to wait for our roof replacement on the house and the storage facility to have nice firm ground.
I already have (5)5/16-18x5" lg hex head bolts with the heads cut off and opposing flats ground on what was the head end--for finger gripping.  Because I will be laying on my chest on top of the engine and working by feel over the fan and inside the shroud I plan on doing the switch this way: (1) loosen but do not remove fan belts. (2)Remove a 5/16 hex head bolt with my 1/2" socket and replace the bolt with the "headless stud". Repeat five times then slide the old fan rearward, lift it up and out.
Compare everything between the two fans. Install NEW fan belts, then reverse the fan removal process with using the new fan.
Because everything has to be done by feel I want to keep the holes in all the parts in alignment.
I have (5) studs because I will probably drop one or two and it is a real pain to get out from under the bed, go outside and then fish around until I retrieve the stud, then back in & under the bed. Keeps the grease dispersal to a minimum.

Hawk,

    Since I am such a perfectly honed mechanic and have improved my skill level to where I seldom drop over

half of the nuts, bolts, screws, washers, parts and tools, now that I used to I have learned to spread a sheet,

tarp (light colored one) on the ground and drive/back the coach over it. I have fine tuned the process to have

two ropes, on each corner coming out one side to pull the catch mat out and two on the other side to put it

back under, just in case the impossible happens again. Wish I had a gizmo that had a tiny camera on one end

and a screen that I could set to see in those spots you have to work on that you can not see, maybe someone

on here has seen something and can tell about it.

Carter-
