My radiator fan motors seem to be getting noisy and may be getting ready to fail. Does anyone have any experience with replacing the motors or the entire fan assembly? I'm curious if any of the aftermarket units are good or to stick with the factory units. The factory units are pretty pricey, and by the time you replace both motors, you can buy the entire assembly (with fans) for about the same money. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Never heard a noisy fan motor. Can you explain how it sounds? I would assume it's pretty bad if it got your attention to replace it..

Cheap alternative would be rockauto, or used from junkyard/ebay/craigslist.

 

It’s a loud droning fan noise that I can hear from inside the car. Louder than the standard sound by probably a factor of two or so. They’re still working for now, but something sounds off. I’ve looked at the aftermarket options on Rockauto, but don’t have any experience with any of the brands. Would appreciate any feedback on stock or aftermarket replacement motors or the entire fan assembly unit.
