i just saw a buddies new 05 sierra and i'm jealous. I was stunned to see the new trucks come electric fans and i am wondering if its easy to put on in my 02 sierra? Anyone done it yet?

 

SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS it working yet?

Yes, it can be done, you need alot of stuff, search, its here.

 

Nope not yet. I'm new give me a break huh?

 

it is possible and easy. I have done the swap myself and it was pretty simple, just need to spend about 500 bucks to do it.

 

You need a 34" radiator, a set of factory e-fans, a harness, an extra set of radiator bolts, and a PCM tune to turn the fan feature on if you have the fans controlled by the PCM. My grand total was about $500 like BlownChevy said. The swap itself is very easy and straightforward. The hardest thing for me was dealing with all of the coolant that didn't come out when I drained the radiator. Made a big ole mess on the garage floor.

 

thunder550 pretty much summed it up, it's a piece of cake. You also have to trim back the rubber flaps along the sides of the radiator to accomodate the bigger radiator...takes 5 mins. Also, if you have a K&N FIPK you'll have to modify the heat shield for fitment with the 34" rad.

 

Thanks guys, it doesn't sound hard at all.

 

Just get some LS1 fans and a harness from Allen Nelson. Fuckload cheaper and work just as good.

 

Does anyone have the P/N for the rubber flaps for the 05 34" radiator? or any of the 34" rad trucks like the 2500's?

 

Just cut 'em, all you need is sissors or a utility knife.
