Great video. Help a lot. I had to remove fan shroud on my 2003, a little different from video but no big deal. Nut was a pain, broke a strap wrench and had to borrow correct tool from pep boys. I bought part from you because of video. transaction was perfect and no issues.

[@1AAuto]

Thank you for your order Michael. Have a great day!

[@coltonmora3884]

Great video and exactly what I needed to get the job done! What I don't understand is how you managed to do it without mumbling expletives

[@shouaxiong1299]

Thanks to your video i saved hundreds, even though it wasnt for my make and model but it gave me a general idea to fix mines, Thank you so much

[@1AAuto]

Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@crimmartinez9987]

removing the front brace part and fan cover makes it easier. good video tho.

[@mendozad]

I'm about to change mine on my 2006 GMC Envoy Denali, do you have to reset your PCM?

[@joshuakeith8710]

I changed the fan clutch on my 02 4.2L Trailblazer and now the fan clutch is stuck on. Sounds like a fan boat going down the road. P0496 code as well. Does the PCM need flashed or do I need to try an OEM clutch? Bought this one from autozone.

[@nobodyschild967]

Is there a reason the shroud wasnt removed? I assume it would've allowed a lil more work space

[@shouaxiong1299]

Everything turn out great, I follow the video and i fixed it my self, Thank you so much

[@1AAuto]

Thank you for watching. Glad the video was helpful! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@swalief82]

My 08 envoy fan clutch does not have that wire harness connected to it. So some models not have ?

[@scuba602]

This looks almost nothing like the 2004 4.2 Trailblazer I'm working on. Do I need to remove the boots attaching the bell to the water pump to use the clutch tool?

[@hooknbook911]

[@NORCALPYRO_]

Some people say after you change the clutch fan you need to reset the hvac system is that true?? Do i need to reset anything after this install or no????

[@slicnik835]

Is it possible to put one of these on wrong?? I bought a brand new one from online idk if i got a faulty one or what but the fan speed is really high?any suggestions?

[@michaelbuncy441]

How am I supposed to hold the pulley onto the water pump to use the fan clutch tool is I need to take all the bolts out just to use the tool?

[@cjohnson8897]

Good way to bust up yer radiator. Pull the shroud out w the fan clutch. Way easier.

[@Joe-wk9ow]

dose this method work with the 4.2L engine or just the 5.7?

[@travisirving2009]

I seen the fan clutch and water pump replacement sold together as a unit. Are you suppose to replace both at the same time?

[@1AAuto]

+Travis Irving You do not need to replace both at once unless it is needed.

[@joeblosorganicgrow6606]

Does this method(not removing fan shroud) work for the 4.2 as well? Getting ready to do my fan clutch and water pump this weekend.

[@king69in2009]

I got 2004 and man did this video help

[@kariedwards495]

Can someone tell me how long the process actually takes? Also was this video done on a straight 6 or v8

[@jorgejimenez4829]

Hello mike i noticed you replaced the fan along with the clutch. May i ask why you did this and is it necessary to replace the fan as well? Or was the fan itself damaged?

[@1AAuto]

+J. J. Thanks for your question! If you fan is still in good shape you will be able to re-use it. Thanks!! 1AAuto

[@hermangbelinjr3935]

[@rfl6495]

how many hours for a shop? thanks

[@nestorrios8571]

What do you recommend if there’s too much resistance on the fan clutch nut? I can’t seem to be able to loosen it

[@1AAuto]

+Nestor Rios Thanks for watching! The process Mike shows in the video is really the best way to do it and should release any fan clutch nut. If you continue to have issues you may want to take your vehicle to a reputable garage so they can try and get the part swapped out! 1aauto.com

[@alfredmartinez1134]

one more question what does shift solinod b performance code for? i did a resent tranny flush and changed 2 solinod on it and today at a light my truck vibrated 3 sec and turned off on me but turns on agian when u turn it on 🤔

[@jmiles1960]

In this video, it appears you replaced the fan as well as the fan clutch. Just curious as to why replace the fan? Thanks for the video!

[@kurtiskoppdrums]

Probably protocol due to brittle plastic

[@rc3688]

What is the clutch connected to? The water pump?

[@OnlyHumanRecordings]

Can you guys link me to the specific fan clutch wrench needed for this job?I have a 2002 Envoy.

[@1AAuto]

[@creeperchaos9584]

Very helpful, but my 2002 is different from the 2003

[@stevei7527]

I want to know if you can just put a regular Fan Clutch on the 2002 Trailblazer 4.2 rather than going back with the Electric Fan Clutch???? Why is this electric when some of the Bigger SUV's with the Bigger Motors have Non Electric Fan Clutches. You do a great job fixing this and telling us how to fix it or do it, plus you give the size of almost all tools you use. Thanks. I. Stephen's

[@1AAuto]

+Steve I Thanks for watching. It is recommended to put the OE style part as a replacement, unless proper modification and updates are made.

[@eliirvin5576]

Where can one purchase the fan clutch pully wrench?

[@1AAuto]

+IrvinWithAnEye We carry a few different options for this tool! Head over to 1aauto.com and search "fan clutch wrench" and the options will populate. 1aauto.com

[@guywesley2475]

Amazon

[@scuba602]

O'Reilly's has a shortened version that employs a separate breaker bar or ratchet handle for around $25, its a great alternative to spending $80 on a tool you'll use once maybe twice in your life

[@jackiewaggoner3081]

Changed out fan clutch on 03 Trailblazer today....have been reading that the PCM needs to be reflashed by the dealer. Do you really have to do this or can you just clear the codes with an OBD scanner and then remove the negative battery cable to restart the PCM. What good does flashing do, after you change the fan clutch.

[@1AAuto]

+Jackie Waggoner Thank you for checking us out. You may attempt and clear out the codes with the OBD scanner, but in some cases it is true that the dealership specific software must be used for this reflash. 1aauto.com

[@jackiewaggoner3081]

If I installed the same fan clutch as before (when a dealership flash was done) would I have to do it again?

[@Sc00bings]

I did everything in this video . worked great . now I'm getting a check engine fault code saying that the high speed fan. what could be wrong

[@1AAuto]

You may want to check the fan when the vehicle is up to temperature to see if the high speed is kicking in. Hope this helps point you in a direction. 1aauto.com

[@venividivici4253]

Ryan louden Ask the dealership

[@jerryseeley3110]

I have small play in my fan .what could that be .all bolts are tight ?

[@1AAuto]

+Jerry seeley We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@Koda076]

Ok white fan out...black fan in...putting belt back on, back to white fan....good video just picking on ya, great price on parts!!!

[@chrisbarrera1069]

Such a helpful video! Thank you so much. Also best price on the fan clutch! Thanks again. I will continue to use 1A Auto and refer! Blessings!!

[@kirk660]

What actually size is the adjustable wrench

[@theupscale7130]

I replaced my clutch, but I still got a p0526 code. I don't know what else to do, I've checked so many things. I have an 04 envoy 4.2l

[@1AAuto]

Try getting a diagnosis from a local mechanic. Thanks for watching our video! +The Upscale

[@JayzBeerz]

trying this this weekend thank you great video does this fan clutch have a lifetime warranty?

[@1AAuto]

+JayzBeerz Thanks for watching. Yes, our fan clutch has a limited lifetime warranty as long as you own the vehicle, and in the event of failure during intended use if caused by a manufacturer defect. If any of our viewers needs to make this repair, we carry the auto repair part shown in this video on our website. Here is a link to them www.1aauto.com/cooling-fan-clutch/i/1arfa00090?KZbin&CTA+Comment&A3S61XzQVs

[@JayzBeerz]

I'm definitely buying it on payday. I shopped around and you have the best warranty. Thank you.

[@jasonspellich2440]

Great video. Question, why not just zip the fan mounting bolts out with an impact and remove the assembly whole?

[@SuperDriver101]

You can't. The fan trout is one piece.

[@SuperDriver101]

Shroud

[@tadsworkshop]

This is a V8 model. Clearances are different for a 4.2L in-line 6.

[@elainedowdy3075]

What if threads are stripped

[@mikeygillespie8057]

If the car is getting up to temp but the fan never kicks in is the fan clutch

[@Rebel9668]

That may work for that envoy but it's nothing like what I had to do to get the one on my 2002 trailblazer off. I had to remove the front brace over the radiator and remove the bolts to get the shroud pulled up so I could take the fan clutch out through the front of the shroud. On the plus side I didn't have to remove the serpentine belt.

[@alanmonreal1488]

thanks this video help I have a 2004

[@adictiveadictive]

I dont think i have a fan clutch. I have an 07 saturn ion and i recently replaced the fan assembly. Its obviously different. I dont have a fan clutch right?

[@lemarkwash2914]

i changed my fan clutch and water pump and when i put everything thing back together my heat blows out cold air and my car is over heating.. any ideas what could be the problem?

[@1AAuto]

+LeMark Wash When the vehicle is cold, you may want to check the level of the antifreeze to see if it needs to be topped off. There could be an air pocket in the system. Hope this helps you out

GREAT VIDEO STUPID DESIGN BUT VERY INFORMATIVE

[@ugandanarmy7102]

So anybody else notice the color change to the fan once he started to put the belt back on

[@1AAuto]

+Ugandan Army Thanks for the feedback!

[@alfredmartinez1134]

p1481 code btw

[@manbearpig2164]

I would just pull the shroud off with it ,instead of fighting everything

[@brandonbullins]

Didnt say anything about removing the top radiator hose either.

[@1AAuto]

+B Thanks for the feedback!

[@cesarloeza3246]

I chance me but make a noise is normal

[@davidhill5861]

Way less complicated than procedure in GM Service Manual.
