Fan Blade replacement

Who makes a quality cooling fan blade replacement? Seems that everyone sells the Dorman brand (NAPA, RockAuto, LMR, etc.) that doesn't last but a few years. My OEM fan blade shows signs of age despite low mileage. I'd like to replace it beforer anything happens with something that will last another 30yrs.

This doesn’t answer your question, but I have two used fans in decent condition I’d sell. If you’re just looking to remove your original one to preserve it.

I'm open to the idea of a used OEM replacement if they are in good shape. Wish they still made them. It was surprising to find hairline cracks in mine given that I have under 20K miles. I'd like to stop using it and find something reliable. Sending you a PM to chat.

I messaged him. He’s looking at buying one of mine next Saturday.

I have LMR on speed dial these days :lol:

A few people have told me that the replicas don't last but a couple of years. I have no personal experience with that, but it makes me question if that's what I really want to deal with. A member on here is going to sell me a used one without any issues so I'm likely going that route.
