So my daughter in denver called broke down. That triple A that CV I got her finally paid off.
The mechanic called and said the fan blew apart. It took out the radiator, the shround, the PS reservoir, and the upper hose.
I had intended to do the doorman/Hayden upgrade on her rig next time she came home.
Moral of this story is....do the doorman hayden upgrade.

Well it's fairly straightforward. The old fans get brittle. The hayden/doorman setup is new and moves more air. It's fairly cheap and could save you a $1000 repair bill on the road. Part numbers are listed on this post.
Okay gotcha I figured with that kind of damage it had to be the earlier fan blade with the outer ring as the 03-04 style could sling a blade without as much carnage. If a 99-02 goes that big unbalanced ring is just gonna catch on everything!!! Had a friend with a D2 freaking out when he saw your thread.

Thanks dude. When I do the overhaul, do I need to get the clutch, the fan, and the radiator? Or just the clutch & fan?

Well if your radiator is good then don't bother but if you are running the original then it would be a good idea. The Nissens unit is about $160. Some guys on here swear by the $80 ebay units so either way it is cheap to do. I would go Nissens (just my opinion)

The belt was my first thought. Surprisingly it is still in one piece.
I had the guy order the nissens radiator, the hayden 2991, the doorman 620-112, and he was gonna get the shroud and PS reservoir from a junkyard.
If anybody breaks down west of Vail pass, I would give a big thumbs up to using Werks diesel repair in gypsum colorado.
