Will a fan off a '87 S10 2.8 work on an '89 4.3? Are they both reverse rotation due to serpinetine belts?

Most likely they will. I have worked on both and at a glance they look the same but I cant guarantee it1993 EXT. CAB, 3.4L V6 TBI, 5spd manual. Sonoma

Thanks for the reply. I don't have the 2.8 after all. But this S10 p/u with a 4.3 has a 3 blade fan and would like to change it to a 5 blade. It doesn't have a/c which is probably why it has a 3 blade. I wonder if the a/c and the non/a/c go in the same direction?'86 S10 Blazer 4WD, '87 2.8 with 3.1 crank and pistons, A.R.I.

Yes they all spin the same direction. The 2.8L was reverse rotation in 1987 and up.1993 EXT. CAB, 3.4L V6 TBI, 5spd manual. Sonoma

Thanks. Do you know anything about the "Flexlite #5900"? I had a flex fan on a '72 Chevelle a long time ago and when the rpm got up there it sounded like an airplane. I took it off. It was blue with stainless steel blades, very sharp, as in knife.'86 S10 Blazer 4WD, '87 2.8 with 3.1 crank and pistons, A.R.I.

They are junk.
In fact if I were building anything today I would install an electric fan. You get at least a 2MPG return and a bit of performance. Plus if you like you can add an optional override.1993 EXT. CAB, 3.4L V6 TBI, 5spd manual. Sonoma

Thanks for the info. I was about to get one. I'll just look for a 5 blade stock fan to replace the 3 blade.'86 S10 Blazer 4WD, '87 2.8 with 3.1 crank and pistons, A.R.I.
