Howdy folks. Been a member here for years but never found the need to create a thread.

Long story short, my compressor died 2 years back on my 03 4.7 SLT. Replaced it this year and in traffic the truck overheats a tad and the AC gets a bit warm. Does fine and cold on highway, and after due diligence I have determined the E-fan for the condensor is dead.

New one will be here shortly, and seems like a simple job, but if anyone has a link to the how-to I'd appreciate it. Seems there are two bolts holding on the upper shroud and then just 3 to remove the old fan, and there seems to be ample room to r&r it, but has anyone done this, and did you notice any pitfalls?

Thanks for the advice.

Lloyd.

 

REMOVAL
If the fan blade is bent, warped, cracked or damaged in any way, it must be replaced only with a replacement fan blade. Do not attempt to repair a damaged fan blade.
Disconnect battery negative cable.
Disconnect fan motor wire connector.
Remove the two fan shroud mounting clips connecting the upper part of fan shroud to the radiator.
Remove fan assembly from radiator.
