Oh, I have no problem with the fan noise. It's reassuring, actually.
But the issues is that now it is definitely coming on way too early and remaining on way too long. I've driven this rig for 10 years now. I know her her like my the back of my hand.
And Wiz,
Yes. I understand how it works.
I completely agree that it's failing in the right direction. Believe me, that is not lost on me in the least. Nor was it when it began to behave this way when I was struggling to return home with a failing distributor. Except that it was squealing the belt if I went over 50 which is right where she would begin to run ok with said failing distributor. That was quite a dance... until it was time to pay the piper.
Now if it IS failing... then how do I know it won't fail in the WRONG direction... when I'm 6 hours from home.... with my wife and kids little ones in the rig... pulling the boat... on a long and lonely.... hilly... HOT desert road?
I would definitely opt for the severe duty. And I believe it's a 7 blade. Perhaps the previous owner did the mod. They did a number of appropriate mods and took good care of her. But I'll look next time I'm over at the storage yard.
I've read good and bad about Hayden. I'd say mostly good.
I can say the same about the OEM. And given GM's rep following the bankruptcy... I'm no longer inclined to default to GM parts without a little research at least.
Do you guys have any opinions on Hayden and or the GM clutch?
