In a thread in the General HHR section I talked about the deer I hit a few weeks ago.

The radiator and AC condenser appear undamaged.

However, the cooling fan shroud cracked and a blade broke off.

Rock auto lists a replacement fan unit for $47 from TYC or an AC Delco fan unit for $80.

Worth it or not to buy the AC Delco brand for $33 more?

Ive had a TYC in mine for a bit over a year with no problems.

 

Thanks. That's what I was hoping to hear.

Too make you feel even better, I compared my OEM fan back to back and side to side to the TYC and they are IDENTICAL in every aspect. Apparently TYC has been in the parts game a long time and makes quality parts. I thought they were just some Chinese knock of company but I was wrong.

 

I learned a lesson to put a towl over the engine when removing the grille for touch up painting or what have you; I dropped a nut from the grille into my OEM fan shroud and stupidly thought I could grab it, snapping a fin off in the process.
