[Shotimes] Overheating / Fan issues

[Rick Glass]

I took just the motor off of my '93 to an alternator repair shop, after
convincing them they could rebuild it even though it wasn't an alternator,
they agreed to look at it....this was at closing time, they called at 9:00
the next morning, it was ready to go.....$65.00.......works perfectly, no
problems almost 3 years later.
