P1000 Better than OEM fan blade?

[0860silverado]

Hello everyone. My P1K keeps breaking radiator fan blades. Is this common? When I hear it coming apart, I can finish tearing off the blade that's letting go, and then I tear off the opposing blade so it is fairly balanced until I can replace it. Does anyone know of quality aftermarket replacement, or possibly if a Yamaha/Polaris/Kawasaki?Can-Am blade would fit on the honda shaft? I see Spal has an aftermarket fan/motor available, but I don't need a motor, just the fan. (It's a pretty good amount of work involved to replace these little buggers!)

It's kinda common with high miles or maybe age. I just used OEM. I kinda wish I would've went the spal route. I made it to 9000 miles before mine went bad. I'm 70 miles shy of 12,000 miles now and it's still fine.

I don't normally tell someone to use the search function, I try to help but I don't have a Pioneer so I didn't bookmark the thread where this is discussed. There are several good solutions and work arounds if you can find the thread.

Are you going through water when these break or do you not do water that would contact the blade?

I have tried searching "broken fan blades" and didnt find much info. Should I be searching something else.

Here's one thread about broken fan blades, post #6 has an aftermarket suggestion.

P1000 - Leaking radiator, broken fan

Have a customer's 2016 P1K-3 in shop for coolant leak and a shattered fan. Pulled radiator and couldn't visibly find a leak but I blew into it while covering outlet and found the top tube to be split for about 4 inches. Will take a new rad. No external driver induced injury.

Spal makes a replacement fan for the 2016-21 machines. It's a sealed motor and eliminates the need for a fan vent line. It moves more air and it's quieter than stock. The 2022 pioneer also has a new fan shroud and new fan. Both would be a good upgrade over stock.

Just know if you have to pull the grill and front plastics it is a royal PITA.

It's about an hour to swap the fan but the headlights and hood make it a pain

Never ever through water. It's as if the blade can't take the heat and becomes soft and flimsy when hot.

Every 5,000 miles or so. The last one I put only lasted about 15 months (3500 miles).

I had a thread called "fan fail" where I replaced with a Spal. It's a much, much higher quality fan. You don't need to remove the whole front clip, just the grill and bumper.
