Have a 2001 GMC Sierra 5.3L?? Need more space for performance add-ons? Is converting the clutch fan to electric fan worth it? if so, what is the best website to buy an entire kit from? Need major help with this one guys.

 

it is worth it imo Ive had mine done for couple months now I used a set of ls1 fans and built my own harness you can get a harness from blackbear and other sponsors on here but dont know if they have fans I bought my fans from another member on here

 

ok cool yeah i put in a K&N cold Air Intake on the truck then got a throttlebody spacer for it but they both wont fit together because of the fan shroud trying to fix that issue.

 

Tb spacer....waste of money, time, and aluminum.

 

You can get an aluminum 34" core radiator off of ebay for about 210 shipped, 2007+ e-fans new for about 175 shipped, 300 for a tune and a harness from blackbear. There are ways to do it cheaper with used parts, but Im getting all new parts and a tune at the same time so its a little bit more. If you can find a junked 05+ gm suv or fullsize it will have the 34" radiator and electric fans. Usually just need the harness and a tune to make sure they turn on when they are supposed to.

 

got brand new radiator 34" from ebay paid 110 used 05 efans 150 ebay and bbp harness for 85 so 345 for everything...

 

I agree. Use factory parts, if you can. Benefits: larger radiator, parts are designed to work and duration tested by GM - it will last and be dependable. Factory radiator, factory fans and I would also get the factory harness, from a junkyard.

Also agree with the TB spacer.

 

My clutch fan messed was damaged after my engine swap yesterday so I picked up some Camaro fans from my local Salvage yard for $45 and with a few dollars worth of wires/connectors, I have awesome e-fans. It's so much cleaner under the hood too. And x3 on the tb spacer.
