Default Pusher fan

When I installed my Huron kit I installed two of the 16925 pusher fans. I have driven the car twice and one of the fans isn't working. I used a test light and it has power coming from the relay to the fan and a solid ground. I ran straight power to it, and the fan does nothing. I can spin it a little with my hand when it has power, it will make a few rotations and lock up. Seems the internal fan has burned up or locked up. When you try to free spin it its hard to move and makes a dragging sound inside of it. Is their another go to fan or should I just get another one, since the other one is still working great? I just bled the system of all the air and was testing the fans with the switch and it was a no go. This maybe a complaining post more than anything, Since I get to pull the radiator back out to put a new fan in, at least I was smart enough to put connectors on them so they can be disconnected. Thanks for listening to my whining. I am losing motivation with this car just seems everything that can happens...happens.

I can do it, I did the whole turbo install. It's just the motivation is going away, I have driven it twice and it made 600 wheel on pump gas its fun, it just seems to be cursed. Do you know anyone local, that tunes E-85 I am thinking of making the switch this winter, so I can turn it up some more? Its on spring right now, but has a controller on it. Maybe I will see that Chevelle round town one day.

Don't be thinking it's cursed that will kill whatever motivation you have left. Just fix it right and it'll all be worth it in the end
