replaced the fan clutch on my 03 envoy and before I did, the actual fan was tight. after replacing the clutch assembly the fan is loose, anyone else?

When you say loose. do you mean you can turn the fan by hand? or do you mean it wiggles back and forth? If you mean you can turn it by hand but you could not with the old one, the old one had a problem. The design has a thick grease inside the bearings that gives it some fricktion even when the fan clutch is not enguaged. When the fan clutch engages the plastice blades and the metal finnes spin together with the engine RPM. If you are talking about side to side movment, Most likly your water pump is bad. It is normal to replace the water pump at the same time as the fan clutch.

I've had the same experience. Can't get it apart again. I'm just going to buy another fan.

I used this part in my 2006 GMC Envoy with auto air controls and it worked fine. You do have to cut wires and reattach them but it was no big deal and didn't take too much time. My system now has all fan speeds and works just fine. Go to Google for an install video if you can, it will help you out.

You should check 1) the set screw on the fan pulley 2) the set screw on the motor pulley 3) make sure the fan belt is adjusted tight enough.

You have to carefully, but with enough force pull the old one off. I had to support the motor with one hand while pulling very hard on the base of old fan. Because the old fan was somewhat brittle some blades did get broken. To install the new blade I found that it was a very tight fit. I used a drill bit (the same size as the shaft in the motor) to open "just the end" to get the end to start then used a lot of force to squeeze it on. I think if you had a clamp with enough clearance over the blades you could possibly install it easier. I'm not sure what fan model mine is or what model it will fit. Hope this helps, good luck.

Hi sorry to hear about the issue. If you have tried everything with no luck, would suggest swapping it out for another. 1 of 3 I purchased we ended up returning. Now, we got ours at a local store so I didn't have to hassle with repackaging/shipping. My sister bought one and had issues as well. I commented on the table top version of this fan that unfortunately the manufacturer is not very consistent, or that QA is lacking. Despite the little issue i had, I am very very satisfied with my purchases. Good luck and I hope you get to enjoy your fan soon!

When I took the fan out of storage this month, cleaned it and used it for the first time of the season, I noticed a tiny squeak at a certain point at the rotation. My husband took care of that and now it's as quiet as ever.

I think it fits, but I removed my stock fan and clutch and put in a SPAL electric fan instead.Remember to hang onto the rubber mounting bushings that were in your old radiator to use in this one.

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, im studing it yet.)

Had the same problem. Easy solution. You are not pulling the clutch handle out far enough to engage the drive.

Hi. I looked at the fuse and it looks like it is there to prevent the fan from short-circuiting. If the fuse ever blows, I recommend taking it out and taking it with you to your nearest hardware store so that they can give you the correct size for replacement. Hope this helps!

Make sure the bag is clean and there are no obstrctions around the fan. Otherwise is most likely a control board problem and will need factory repair. I'm on my second one after first lasted 3 years. Decided cheaper to buy a new one than repair the old one.

Sounds like your slip clutch is either failing or needs to be adjusted or replaced, good luck.

It will fit perfectly, after you remove the stock clutch fan. You may have to trim the rubber gasket on one side, and then secure the fan assembly to the radiator core.

No problem at all. I think the problem with the other customer was installation. Make sure you follow the directions. It's a good quality fan, you won't be disappointed.

I have no idea since mine doesn't squeak. There's a humming sound when it goes on but that's the fan. Is it the fan that's making that noise? sorry I can't be of more help.

This sounds like the part you need. I had a 2004 Envoy but I'm sure they use this on many models. You need to know that this is a very hard job but you can save about $450.00.
