@@k1500queen you won't get an Engine Light until its all the way up! at this point your head Gasket its Gone! so you don't want to let it hit all the way up!

@@FranciscoJavierOutdoors hello! get a plug at the junk there are plenty of TB and Envoys which are the same! One thing you need to be careful , truck may not overheat while Moving because wind is cooling it i had it like that for over a year until one days that was really hot and i was at a red light after getting off the FWY 😩 that it overheated! anyways you are better of replacing the plug its an easy task! AC doesn't have anything to do with Fan other than cooling Condenser, This is what i will do if it was my truck, i'll check if AC compressor is kicking in by turning on AC and visually checking you'll see it the front part rotate and stop, if it doesnt kick in you need to check Relay, Fuse and Gas Pressure, if gas is low it wont turn on! does tha Blower Work you just dont get cold Air? AC fuse #30 Blower J-case Fuse # 35 AC relay #44 first thing swap #44&45 they are identical see if that fixes AC problem! if it does then u know u need a new relay if it doesn't check fuses mentioned if everything is good Freon may be below spec and wont let the compressor kick in

No and Thats the problem that you don't see it until its too late! it kind of overheated a bit the first time i saw it but i thought it was a one time malfunctions so i ignored it and the following summer it overheated! i replace the clutch this time but and thought everything was fine but 6 months later i started seen white film under oil Cap and you know what that means!! water going inside the engine head gasket!! so i had head re done thats when i decided to look deeper knowing it wasn't my clutch! and No Codes At all

@quirino18 got ya... I appreciate the info... my old fan didn't seem to Output much, poor ac, tic warm... about 1/2 on the dash... no roar on the initial cold start.. replaced it with a mahle... now I have the p1481, for fan speed... sigh... lol, no codes before the swap... I'll test with the bulb, too, like your video.. appreciate the time..

@@JoelSc14 stick to OE Fan Has An Internal Speed sensor perhaps its faulty if clutch under warranty get it replace usually you get a year warranty

@@quirino18 mahle and bahr supply gm, so its oe , and quality.. definitely has a warranty, rock auto will swap it, but I'll look closely at the connector at the fan shroud... backkprobe, and pin tension and stuff... spun wrenches for 25 years in a past lifetime...

@@JoelSc14 OE its ACDelco OR Delphi

actually thats incorrect! even removing that plastic Alternator wont come out if is not done with Alternator Facing Back and bending 1 mounting base

@@quirino18 not sure what you mean by plastic alternator. I’m talking about the metal heat shield that’s attached to the alternator itself. If you remove the alternator, and rotate it and remove that heat shield, it will slide out over the frame. I made a video of it and I’m waiting for time to edit it and make a complete alternator removal and replacement video because the only ones on KZbin TELL you how they did it but don’t SHOW you how they did it. My video will show how once I get time to edit it and upload.

@@aquaexcursions plastic, Alternator

No Bro im a Casual that happens to figure things out! if your fan is doing the same thing you can start by Swapping your relay i remember there are 2 that are identical so just swap it to start troubleshooting, after put a lightbulb just as i did, when car reaches certain temp. fan should start getting pulsations from Computer so lightbulb should start blinking just like mine if it doesn't you may have broken wire as well! to test this put on end of the bulb in plug power just as i did and the other end to metal (ground) and try again accelerate to 1500rpm to get the signal from computer if bulb blinks after getting ground from metal your ground if bad somewhere! if this is your case you can run a wire from metal to the back of the plug its like running a new wire from fuse box to plug same thing! now to find out if power cable is the problem look at the electrical Diagram and find out which leg from the relay feeds it you can do this by putting a small wire under relay leg and putting relay back in and testing for signal there with either a multimeter if you got one or use the bulb, one end to ground and the other to cable coming out of relay until you find signal leg on relay! if it works right at relay you have a broken positive wire for sure at this point you can do 2 things remove fuse box and try finding the wire on the plug where relay connects which is below fuse box! ones you find the cable you can pinpoint broken area! remove relay and stick a metal paper clip or so to the signal plug then find a way to ground it use a wire from paper clip to metal (disconnect battery and plug from fan) ones you do that use a test light and poke the wire going to fan with test light, light should turn Green (ground) poke from plug going towards fan plug until test light doesn't turn on which is where you passed broken area just go back until you get green light again and figure where it stops turning on thats where broken cable is!! 2- way on the same plug you removed from fusebox you can strip the wire attach a new wire and run a new cable directly to the fan plug which will be replacing broken wire this will be the fastest way if broken wire is the problem

i work in Torrance close to you

The relay fuse number 45 I did not change it

@@bigjoe-y1h swap it with the other one it has 2 identical if thats the problem problem should move with relay

I didn't drained it, spilled as i removed fitting! I guess draining it was an option 😂

Glad to be able to help! perhaps a head Job was saved by fixing the Clutch! unfortunately in my case before i found the problem My truck overheated and blew my head gasket! i fixed it not knowing the wire was the Issue i thought it was the clutch so i replaced it but during summer i noticed it wasn't stable so thats when i looked deeper and found that famous broken wire 🤣🤣 a bit late hey but at the end it got fixed 🤙

may bad i just realized i had a message! im not sure if it'll work becase signal pulsates and doesnt stay on constantly so your fan may turn on and off with signal instead of staying on ! i would have to see how the original fan works to better answer your question

May bad! ISTA is BMW Software used at Dealers to troubleshoot and repair BMWs it does anything Dealers do from coding new modules to Calibrating Seats, windows, registering new batteries etc

May bad! i had multiple messages and didnt know! do you still need help?

if its stuck on remove the relay and see if that makes a difference if it does your relay needs to be replace! you can also swap it with another relay i believe there were 2 that are identical just move them to see if problem goes away then you know for sure that was it

@quirino18 no thanks! I have put a different fan clutch and no problem! US Motorworks is junk!

@@LukeesCZ same with autozone clutches they sound like airplanes and stay constantly on

But my gmc problem is fan is engaged when accelerating from a stop after 10 minutes or so. Not heating just annoying and using too much gas.

@@ksingh631 ECU tell is when to turn on so if is activating too soon either truck is getting hot enough to activate it without you noticing it because gage shows normal Temp. specially while AC is on or it also happens with aftermarket clutches

Gracias Bro 🤟

sorry i just noticed your message !

check just as i did if no light either relay is bad or broken cable

hijole no savia q tenia mensajes 😂 cuando dices q suena te refieres a el sonido de mi Motor? no es el abanico lo estaba acelerando fuerte eso era

im sorry i just noticed you message! Glad to know it helped 👍 Make sure is not a broken wire or you'e risking to over heat it and you know what happens with that 😆 My Fan Works Perfectly after i fixed that broken wire 🫡

im having the same exact problem... did you fix yours?

The electronic clutch was a short lived design and later ditched by GM. The centre hub/clutch only lasts about 5 years or so and goes bad internally. Poor quality.

Stuck relay or Power shorting somewhere but most likely relay stuck on

@@RetroCaptainmy clutch lasted 16 years and it was still good but i replaced it when i first had this issue thinking it was bad when it the a broken wire

@@quirino18 my mechanic tried swapping out the wires and it still won't run 140,000mi. I'm North of Detroit where it was built, and it's cold most of the year. I first drove it in August during a really hot day it ran at 212⁰. Didn't overheat but pushing it temp wise imo. Now it's starting to snow here, and it's 209 to 210⁰ rock steady unless I crank the heater on fast. The fan spins slow Supposedly the clutch is n/g (unless my mechanic missed something). I was thinking of buying a standard e fan and also transmission cooler for next summer. It needs the tank pump assembly ($$$$) so don't want to spend on the short lived original fan replacement. I generally like this SUV it's like a medium sized Suburban without the guzzling thirst of the suburban. The down side is the electrical stuff is very low quality. Speedo and radio both work sporadically because of bad board contacts. My liftgate also stuck in Lock. Snow melted into it and it's rusted internally. The other doors were heavily oil sprayed and work like brand new.

excuse me for not replying before but didn’t know i had a reply!! i’m sure you figured it out by now!! i don’t recall what it looks a like on the back but most alternators get the ground from the body. on this one the power its the longer Bolt right next to Bosch the other nut i think just holds the plastic…. ones again excuse my late reply 🙏

Spring isnt removable it has a sleeve with flange that was pressed in there that if you remove it you wont be able to put it together

Excuseme for not recording the whole thing but is not easy doing it while holding the Camera!! but i am glad to know it helped out!
