Sorry Ron, I have switched to the Texas Cooler but haven't experienced a
high
heat issue yet , since install, to comment.
However I did have a question on the same topic.
This fan issue has come up before but I don't recall any mention of
preventative maintenance that can be taken to prevent a blade from flying.
Has anyone
tried adding a couple of pop rivets, J B weld or even a couple of spot
welds to the fan blades to keep them in place without throwing the fans off
balance.
I assume this would have to be done evenly on all of the blades.
This "flying blade syndrome" puts a whole new meaning to the checking under
the hood
routine.
