Re: Radiator fan Reply #26 – July 13, 2023, 08:40:15 pm Quote from: turbojack – July 13, 2023, 05:30:29 pmExactly what is wrong? I when back and readied the thread and people have offered options but we have not heard the results of any of them. I think the only thing we know is you have some seals leaking. Are you needing a new 21 " sucker fan and if so why, what happened to the one that was there?It came apart from the hub mounting bracket. The fan as laying beside the radiator. Tried to source from Foretravel, MOT, TO NO AVAIL. NO HELP FROM THEM SOURCING AN ALTERNATIVE SOURCE. That, sir, is a resul, if you want to call it that.In regards to Rudy's bus- would be almost impossible to salvage it. Quote Selected

There are lots of sources out there, but you need the "hub" details.Here's a site in Australia with lots of photographs.Cooling / Fan Metal Products - National Auto Parts Depot Quote Selected

Re: Radiator fan Reply #33 – July 14, 2023, 12:39:15 pm I contacted Superior turbo in Detroit. Sent them photos with measurements. From their perspective they had stock. I ordered 2. Will be here next week. I will post an update if the new ones are like the original. I'm cautiously optimistic. Quote Selected 9 Likes

I wonder what could have caused it? Quote Selected
Re: Radiator fan Reply #35 – July 14, 2023, 01:55:48 pm We had to beat that plate off the hub. Since owning this coach for 2+ years, kinda hard to know where Roger Berke went. I know I saw him a Quartzite a dozen years ago with this coach Quote Selected
Re: Radiator fan Reply #36 – July 15, 2023, 09:17:33 am Two disimilar metals making contact and moisture,a coating of anti seize between the 2 will help,if coach was driven on a saltyroad it added to the corrosion,worked on offshore platforms for years,we put anti seize on every nut and bolt.

Re: Radiator fan Reply #37 – July 15, 2023, 09:57:20 am Ernie Im assuming that the hub is still installed on motor shaft. Those motors are time limited for shaft leakage and being you're so close I would hate to see anyone pass on changing the old seals out. Im not saying to rebuild them, just replace the two seals. One seal on each motor but that requires having the hub off the shaft with adequate access to the motor shaft end. Think I'll try and inspect my fan hubs this week before we go to BITD race next month. Got my fingers crossed you got the right fans. Curiously how many miles on your coach?Scott Quote Selected
Re: Radiator fan Reply #38 – July 15, 2023, 02:44:18 pm Sorry Ernie I forgot to look for the seal numbers between trips so here they are 20 30 7 AS Take in one of your old seals to make sure. Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: Radiator fan Reply #41 – July 20, 2023, 03:51:40 pm Superior turbo fans arrived last night. I contacted a local mechanic to do the install. He will be here next week. My job is to drain the radiator so we can remove whatever that large pipe is restricting the fan to be mounted. Quote Selected 4 Likes
Re: Radiator fan Reply #43 – July 20, 2023, 05:07:50 pm Don't forget anti-seize on all nuts and bolts plus I would paint all bare metal and /or partialy rusted metal in that area. Quote Selected

If it is, it only contains air!Yes, if the pipe goes to the radiator itself, and needs to be removed, you will need to drain coolant. Depending on coolant age and condition, may be a reasonable time to change the coolant as well. Quote Selected 2 Likes
Re: Radiator fan Reply #45 – July 20, 2023, 05:52:39 pm Sounds like he is referring to the transmission cooler. I know that's in the way on my coach to access the fans/fan motors. Quote Selected

Re: Radiator fan Reply #48 – July 20, 2023, 09:06:45 pm The trans cooler needs to be moved out of the way so the rad needs draining. Quote Selected
Superior Turbo Reply #49 – July 29, 2023, 04:16:17 pm For the win. A 10 blade fan replaced the 6 blade. The mechanic was able to install the fan without completely removing the transmission cooler. He was able to move that about 3/4 inch. I started the coach and he put up a piece of construction paper on the outside. The fan sucks a lot of air. Now, it looks like we are back in business. I have to order a new air conditioner as a tree limb impaled the old one. It's only money.Thanks, everyone for all your help. Send cash— Quote Selected 24 Likes
