Has anyone else had this happen...E Fan blade brakes at water crossing ?
I went wheelin today and decided to try and go through this mud hole that I got stuck in last time. Before Pro Comp Mudders tires.
I was churning up mud and water pretty good when the engine started vibrating. Raised hood and 2 of the 8 fan blades on my new E fan had snapped off
. WTH is that!! So you can't get water around an electric fan?

THX I just typed broken E Fan in search...Oh well live and learn.
I did figure out a good trail fix, just use wire cutters and brake off blades on other side of ones that broke off, and keep on rollin ( cool weather only ?)

Up date so I ordered a new fan blade 54$ after shipping
This last weekend I went through a small creek crossing and E Fan fuse blow so I put another and it blow then inorder to get out of the woods I put wire across fuse. Then the whole thing stopped working.
Now I'm debating if I should invest even more money in the crappin thing.
I believe I'll just go back to mechanical fan ( less to go wrong)/
Any input ?
