Also, as long as your cooling system is in check, you should be able to run w/o the fan until you can replace it, although you probably shouldn't do that for too long. I know a lot of the fan clutches are bad on these cars, so they aren't doing a whole lot anyways...sigpic

i would say that it would be a bad idea to run it like that when you can just go to a junkyard and get another one.sigpic

Bottom Line: Replace the fan.sigpic

I drove from LA to hollywood with a broken blade and the fan was off balance enough to chew up the radiator hose.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Shoot me a PM & give me your address. You just need the fan, right? Your clutch is still good, just the blade broke, right?
