I know how you feel. I went for a ride with the wife. We got about fifty miles from home and the fan breaks loosefrom the mounts.I unplug the fan . Were ok as long as were moving.Drive about 10 miles on back roads till we get to express way. Every thing is great then . Temp stays at 190. Then theres a load noise , then a scrapping sound from under the car. Before I could get off the road ,I see the fan go flying out the back of the car and sail off into the cattails . The rest of the ride was ok .The lesson I learned was never pop rivet the fan mounting brackets , use SS screws and lock nuts. Roger
