Answer
Hi Kevin,

There is a TSB out on that fan and there is an update to it. The fan runs off the power steering pump. You may want to sit down for this...

Labor times:

012111A         Replace Hydraulic Engine        1.5 Hrs.
               Cooling Fan Motor Lincoln
               LS 3.0L Engine

012111B         Replace Hydraulic Engine        1.7 Hrs.
               Cooling Fan Motor Lincoln
               LS And Thunderbird 3.9L
               Engine

Ok, now the part:

Replace the HCF motor with revised part XW4Z-8K621-AA available at Ford for a mear $490.00 or there abouts.
