I only used it because I had a spare in the garage and my stock fan did the same thing yours did, fan motor went up in smoke when it locked up. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>93ReefBlue5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 5780</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,4,25,21,12,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> the '96 fan has been discontinued for a couple years.. i was unaware that the 03/04 cobra fan would fit.... thought it was like the 97-up which require a different radiator/mounts.<br /><br />i bought a new cooling fan for my '96 from rockauto. yes, it's not an OEM part but it does the job. i am always on the lookout for a used OEM one though.. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Camara90</b> <br /><small>Member # 134</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,4,25,22,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Get a Mark 8 fan, shit is no joke.
