Paul,
From reading on the referenced web site, is it true that the only thing holding the impeller to the shaft is one set screw? Quote, "To fix it I loosened the set screw and pulled it out slightly to where it wasn't binding any more." So, if I understand this correctly, If that one set screw loosens up, the impeller comes loose and you loose all your cooling. Doesn't give me warm fuzzy feelings. I think I will stick with the fan belt.
