Never had a problem with mine. Still the original one....knocking on wood.
Are you just looking for a point of argument? Not sure why you point out the obvious? But for argument's sake, the JEGS fan fit nicely...as good as the stock with a few modifications. The rubber seals completely to the radiator on all 4 sides. I also have ducting made from aluminum sheeting to the radiator.
The low profile allows now for a custom cold air intake to the scoop in the hood.

OK, let's argue. Apparently it isn't obvious. The OP posted a question about removing the fan assembly. Your reply to that is that you stuck a JEG'S fan in your car instead. As if that's an answer on how to replace the fan motor or remove the assembly. And without any qualifications as to "why" you went that route. The OP isn't exactly new to the FD and probably knew better. But for consideration to any readers who were new, I suggested that's not necessarily a good option.
I'm happy if it's working for you. But you posted no figures, pictures or reasons why getting a JEG'S fan was better. And I submit that in MOST cases, they are not.
