So my radiator fan is dying, and I thought I would google it and find one to buy. The original happens to be a Siemens 11.6v with the part number 162-638-03(8) written on it, and says made is mexico.

Now i have never replaced said part so it must be the original. When I do any kind of search for this part number or company I cant find this fan ANYWHRE! =*(

When I look it up by default for this part sometimes the companies online dont have anything to match , and or the fan looks totally different. Some say they need fan shrouds. Now if I have to replace the part with a totally different fan, then Im going to have to buy a matching fan shroud too? I donno honestly O.o

I went to autozone and they said they didnt sell it and I would have to go to the dealership to buy one, but i dont know if thats true, I dont want to get raped by the dealership on parts. Im scared to ask. O.o

My question is where can I get a radiator replacement part? All I need is a motor for the fan but I dont think they sell one anymore. maybe the company that made the original no longer makes them?

Now if I buy one which should I buy? do I need to buy a matching shroud? Where could I get a good deal?

My truck is a dodge dakota 1998 2wd 4cyl.

Any ideas? ^_^

Does your truck have both the clutch and electric fans?

 

Junk yard or just get a taurus rad fan off ebay and install it. That option will be way cheaper than getting a motor from the dealer

 

I have a 98 4cly dakota sport as well and was curious if you ever found a new fan, fan motor, and mounting bracket, or if you went to a junkyard and grabbed one from there.
