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.
