Trailblazer water pump and fan wobble Fix

[@lessevdoolbretsim]

You did a real nice job of explaining things. Thanks.

You’re welcome!!

If those water pump bolts go thru that housing it'll be a good idea to use a sealer.

[@MAJorgy70]

Yup. The hardest part of the whole job is getting that fan threaded onto the water pump. This is where having patience will save you a lot. The fan should spin on easily. Just like when taking off. If it does not spin on easily or stops after a turn or two... YOU ARE CROSS THREADING IT! Back it off and try again. Patience.

If you have a problem with your TB burning too much gas. Change your MAP sensor. My 2004 was only getting 14.3 mpg. Now it get 15.3.

[@coconutjo9780]

Great info!! Thanks

[@darrellepickering8433]

I'd say you've got more problems. My '04 gets 19 + on trips with around 310k.

[@blackericdenice]

@@darrellepickering8433 I bet you don't have a video of your TB.

[@darrellepickering8433]

Not a video but a pix, 4.2 LS series, '04 year.

My mechanics new one for me said 3 hours labor cost 300-? 400 total approx with cheap part he said . Does that sound right ? Everything so expensive these days it’s April 2023 today

[@coconutjo9780]

Unfortunately that sounds about right these days with new parts and fluids.

[@chadl5233]

That's from a head gasket leak or they put some kind of stop leak in there I had a Ford and I put some stop leak in there and after a while I seen something similar to that

[@skeeterguero4560]

What if the coolant was empty as well as the wobble would there be anything else would need to be replaced or is that normal with this problem?

[@coconutjo9780]

It could just be a bad and leaking water pump but there can be numerous reasons for low or empty coolant. Bad radiator, hoses, head gasket, heater core…

[@coconutjo9780]

Awesome!!

[@ianconley6673]

Was that the original water pump???

[@coconutjo9780]

@@ianconley6673 it has been a while since filming this project , I can’t remember but I don’t think it was.

[@Panchobaby]

How did you make sure not to strip the fan again when installing it? Getting ready to do this repair myself

[@coconutjo9780]

I made sure not to force it on there and if I felt any noticeable resistance I immediately stopped. On the first one I felt some slight resistance but keep on installing it. Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@slicnik835]

Did it sound like a jet going down the road too?

[@coconutjo9780]

I never drove it that way. I immediately took everything back off.
