Radiator fan squeal

The last 3 or so days in a row when my fans have kicked on, they make a horrible noise for 20 or so seconds before returning to normal fan noise. Is there anything in there I can lube up or should I just buy new fan motors? I took a look up there already to see if there were any obstructions, there was not.

You should get ready to replace the motor on whichever one is squealing.

Are the motors the same as on an '03 Trailblazer? My wife's TB is having the same issue with the 20 second squealing.
