| They say there is on such thing as a stupid question. Why when I see some fans the blades are not evenly spaced?? I would think to balance the fan they would have to be spaced evenly spaced. I will wait to be schooled. Ryan |

The ones on my D17 IV are not evenly spaced, however it is still well balanced. From what I have heard, this style of fan runs quieter somehow. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

Avoids a steady whine or sound from the blades.

| I know on a Chevy truck there not evenly spaced so you can get to the bolts to unbolt it. |

That and let you get a tool in to release the belt tension. I'm loving the new F150s with electric fans. You can land a plane under the hoods! |

If having the blades not evenly spaced makes them quieter, I'd hate to know what an evenly spaced fan sounds like on my D17D. It's 4 blade fan really howls. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."
