is the fan hooked to the water pump on a 6-71 Detroit if so how much of a pita is it to change the water pump I know on the 53s its on the side I can move the fan blade about 1/2in up/down :o there is no water/antifreeze leaking out of it yet
No it's not. The last water pump I DoD was on a series 60. That was easy. The hardest one was on a l10 cummins. In a plow truck so the hood would not open.with the shaft going threw the timing cover with the pulley for the alt. On the front side. Pulley would not come off till I burned it off with a torch
On the 92 series they had a drain on the outside of the pump. So if the seal leaked it would leak to the outside. They would plug up with rust dirt . Then if the seal leaked it went onto the base
so the fan is not on the water pump where is the water pump is it like the 53 series on the side
Lower rite side
driven by the blower
ok thanks how hard is it to change the what every you call it that the fan is hooked to to change that bearing
Dose it have a clutch fan? If so there are 2 bearings in it.
yes it has the clutch fan ::) is there anything that's going to fall out of the back side when taking it off the block I think there is 8-10 bolts that hold it on and 2 air lines one small one that goes behind the pulley and one large that goes in the top can I get just the bearings so I don't have to buy the hole unit PLEASE SAY YES :D
yes or maybe. that make you feel better? take the air line off that goes to the fan stat. if its a horton you may find parts. the last new one i bought was maybe 300. if its a switsher toss it and buy a new horton
how do I tell one from the other ??? ;D
you got to pull it either way, clean it up and look for a name.
that's not vary good encourage meant ;D
You can do it. Take the fan off then the clutch. You would think it would leak air with that much play in the bearings.
it may but I cant hear it I wonder if that's why it will start to run a little hot when pulling a hill you should be able to hear the fan come on correct on most trucks you hear the squeak when the fan come on I don't hear it on this thanks for the help
well finely got it off tonight wasn't to bad the bearing was so bad it rubbed a spot in the flat plate that the clutch bolts to its the gm clutch fan every one tells me throw it as far as I can then pick it up and throw it again :D I can get all the parts to put a Horton clutch fan on it plus the clutch fan used for 300 I'm thinking it was leaking air and not letting the fan on cause the temp would get about 200 when pulling a hill with a load
