Where's the best place for 2000 3.3 Xterra Parts?

I'm currently looking for a mechanical cooling fan replacement since the blades have cracks. Notice it is discontinued. Where's the best place to source hard to find parts? Any hard to find parts that's I should be on the lookout for?

I think i bought my last AC cooling fan assembly on RockAuto pretty cheaply. The fan clutch fan, I think I bought the last one on ebay, and as far as I know its still in service.

I haven't come across much that I couldn't find. I have got some crap parts, like the MAF but by and large I can find most of what i need. What else are you looking for?

Unfortunately, RockAuto only stocks the fan clutch.

Yeah, that does kinda suck. I think that must be why i bought my last one on eBay. It was about $70 i think. Cheaper than the local auto parts store. I thought about a used one at a local junk yard for $20 but just bought it new instead.

Does this match you OEM component? Ironically we have 3 of these for some odd reason. Looking at the reduced price tells me that it's also a discontinued part, so the 3 we have may be the last three we will have.

Alternatively, we could also assist you in the slightly more challenging task of an e-fan setup, even with a 2-speed sensor setup, even a switch input for Constant on/All off (in case you favor water crossings).

let me know if I can be more useful.

I like going to my local Pull-a-part. Granted, the parts are used and they may not have what you need on the yard, but their inventory cycles pretty frequently. On the other hand, parts are dirt cheap and you can get the hard to find online stuff. I've gotten numerous trim bits for my 04 that I wouldn't have been able to find otherwise.
