Cooling Fan Removal

The fan kit I got was the flexalite kit with the dual fans and everything. (Most Hummer aftermarket sites have em) The price was around $500 give or take $50. I am going to wire it up all this time with the thermostat it comes with and put a kill switch for any reason I would ever get into water or something crazy.

As far as the above post saying "Don't waste my time", well sir, to each his own.

I know its crazy but it can't hurt. I don't tow anything bigger than my moomba outback so it's going to be fine.

They make a fan clutch wrench , you can rent at local auto parts stores
once you get that wrench in place on the nut, give it wack with a hammer!
(with the belt on of course) If that doesn't work, you can nudge it loose with an air hammer on the edge of the nut, but only if your comfortable doing that. Or you can bring a case of BEER to my house and I'll take off for you! Almost forgot to mention counter clockwise on that nut.

LOL, thanks for the offer. I keep hearing the air chisel but I sold all my shop stuff when I closed and I have beat the crap out of it. I am just tired of messing with it. I'll try again, but not today or tomorrow.

Will this new fan setup be controlled through the trucks computer ? I know when I use my Diablo tuner there are options for turning this on and adjusting temps I think. I also seem to remember reading that there is a wire for this hookup somewhere in the wiring harness. Anyone know if this is true?

The factory electric fan setup is the only way to go. Once wired in you can control fan on/off temp with computer.

I wish I could divulge the low cost the factory parts can be gotten for if you have connections. Price is way less than mentioned here although the Nelson harness will cost the same. The 2500HD fan parts can be purchased individually and will all be true GM parts. Just think about people you know or maybe you have a good relation with dealer parts guy.

You would be so much happier with the same unit that is used on the Escalade.

Good Luck
