FACTORY Electric Fan Conversion! Best Mod For 99-04 Silverado/Sierra/Yukon/Tahoe (Free Horsepower!)

What happens here

After all the wiring is complete and the ECU pins are in place, the new electric fan assembly can be installed. This involves carefully maneuvering the fan unit into the engine bay and sliding it into position in front of the radiator. The radiator hose might need to be temporarily moved aside for clearance. Once the fan assembly is in place, bolt it securely to the vehicle's frame. The presenter uses old valve cover bolts for this purpose, after enlarging the mounting holes with a drill.

Goal: Mount the new electric fan unit in the engine bay.

Tools and materials

  • Drill DeWalt — Enlarging mounting holes for bolts
  • Electric Fan Assembly — The new fan unit to be installed
  • Socket Wrench — Tightening bolts
  • Valve Cover Bolts — Securing the fan assembly. The presenter uses these due to their size

here than a turd. I'm sorry. Just wanted to clean it, but now I don't want to touch it. Well, dang. Don't give up that easy. I don't want to touch turds. I wish you did. Then it would be clean. Wow, this is the first time the ECU has actually been put in its holder the proper way. I don't know where the original ground place went for this. I think probably down there somewhere. I don't know. I thought it was the head, but it's not cuz the bolt hole is too small. Well, everything on here is crusty. Not a great place to ground things. I know the head is a good place to ground stuff. So, I'm just going to make the hole bigger and use another leftover converter bolt as that because I don't have any bolts that are short enough, just like I used for the dipstick. Converter bolts for the win. So, let's bore this thing out, make it fit. There we go. Now we got to get some brake clean and clean the head off. Just just to make sure the ground is good. I like having these drill press vices not anchored anything cuz you can kind of like you know, it's just handy. I already have that all wired up. So, if I wanted to make it bigger, I'd have to like hold it with vice grips and get all twisted up and cut my fingers and stuff or you can just take one of these and take it where you need it. The people want your commentary, Logan. They need it. I'm too boring. Well, it sucks to be them and it sucks to be you, right? Yeah, it sucks to be me. I'm just so boring. Yep. Not like I laugh at the stupid things you do all day. Yeah, well, they don't get to see that. They're you know, some of these people they haven't had a good day and they come here to have a nice part of their day. So, and laugh at you. Yeah, I need to be more of an idiot, I guess. Like freaking I I got my I'm too put together today. I need to really tone it down a little bit, I guess. Bend and snap. What? When you bend over to pick something up, you're supposed to bend and snap. Do you want to demonstrate? No. You like bend over, stick your butt out, and then you like snatch yourself back up real quick. You bend and snap. I'm going to take a hard pass on that one. Show off your butt. You know, I'm sure some people would like that. Inside joke. I'll tell you what, there are some weird people on Instagram. Dudes. That's all I'm going to say. I use that block button. Anyway, I'm just cleaning this up to get the all the crud off of there. It Okay. We got Don't want to think about it. Nice arms, big boy. Oh, man. Oh…
