My daughter's 97 Exploder's engine driven fan was scary cracked where is was molded around the metal center. I bought a new Ford one from RA and replaced it. I see Spectra makes an all metal one now. ty All metal fan assembly or just the blades ?

Not a common problem. Currently have an '06 and two '07s. Been running this kind of junk for years. Never had a fan break up. Luck of the draw I guess. As Rosanrosenadanas Dad used to say, It's always sumpthin'. Wish ya better luck in the future.
I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

That fan looks like it was baked at 500 degrees with a dash of ozone on top.
