Sticking Electric Fans

[nick956]

Ey guys I got an 05 silverado z71 with electric that I want to say are oem electric fans as I see no aftermarket stickers on em and they are now starting to stick or no spins freely unless I hit them with my hand and then they spin like normal. What could it be?

Bearings or motor could be starting to go

Finally replaced them after some time were super easy to change out. It was only two bolts on top and slip in guides on bottom and finished. I bought from rockauto for $157 cause auto stores wanted way too much and quoted at over $346.

you can have the motors rebuilt on the old ones. you can do itself sometimes.

I personally would just replace the motors, sooner the better. Don't want them to give out completely and then the engine overheats.
