anybody tried to substitute cooling fan motors like original part # 16363-20400 with a 1636375030 ???? Can't tell from the pictures but they look the same. Or if you have substituted something else please let me know. The dealer price is near 250 each and my old driver has 250+ on it and needs some new tires and Santa was good to me but not that good right now. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I got 2 years out of a used one that I put in then but now the other one (drivers side is wobbling so bad I am afraid it will take out the shroud. Thanks for looking and all the great information here. It has been a god send in helping me to keep her going. Respectfully, Carl Ford

I am in same boat, those motors are ridiculous. I have 248k miles and both motors need replacement.

I am going to order a 16363 75030 motor and see how it will mount up to an extra shroud that I have on hand. Will be this weekend before I order it as am covered up here at work but I am pretty sure we will find one to work. THe depth of the motor itself seems to be the only difference I can see from pictures of several different motors. So an adapter could be easily made to offset the depth to match the original depth of the fan blades. I will let you know as I get one in next week hopefully. Carl

That would be great, I currently am buried in my 2005 Ford F150 with a bad camshaft.

I replaced mine with the motors from a 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid fan assembly from TYC. The shroud is not the same but the motors are and I paid less for the entire assembly than just one of the OEM fans from Lexus. It been several months but so far so good.

OK here it is I bought a 16363 75030 new on ebay for less than $ 50 delivered. I compared them side by side and the only difference other than the part number is the pig tail is 3.25 inches longer on the 75030. Plugs are the same as well. The wires are a different color but red is still on the same side. I installed the new motor in a factory shroud with blade and fired it up again orienting the + from my battery to the red wire. All ran fine. I could not calculate the rpm's but the flow and speed sounded pretty much the same as well as the current draw. I ordered the second one so that I have 2 new motors when I change them out again. I had the shroud left from a donor car to use as the test jig. I have no reservations about running these new motors in place of the old ones. If anything goes haywire I will post back other wise you might be able to save a few $$ by using one of these. Carl

I put on the new pair of motors and all is great. Like I said everything matched except for the 3" longer pigtail. Plug and play other than that. Quiet no vibration so you can save a lot of $$. Starting to look for an new set of tires next. Anybody heard of TIRESNOW ???? Thanks, Carl

Thank you, Thank you so much, Those motors on the TYC assembly available at Amazon or RockAuto fit perfect. Wow my fans were wobbling really bad at 249k miles. The amount of armature dust and brushes dust was terrible. This was a completely plug and play and ran around $139 for the assembly with both motors. Just transferred motors over to my cooling fan assembly and put old fan blades on. Again thank you for the perfect solution of not paying $400 plus.
