TX New radiator fans

It's about that time to replace my radiator fans. one of the fins on mine is bent. I wanted to ask the forum what is a good brand of fan that will perform better and keep the car cooler than the stock one?

Ray has them. We replaced one fan motor with a new stock one and the improvement was dramatic -- not only with the engine temps, but our a/c starting working much better as well.
The OEMs are more$, but they work Great.

They are also not expensive used. Stockers are the only way to go. Aftermarket fans are MEGA crappy and you WILL have far more problems than with the stockers.

What they all said for another reason too, the stockers are multi speed fans that have multiple input wires, adapting some other motor/fan setup could be a lot of work.
