Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IMPORTANT: The electric cooling fan assembly uses a 5-blade fan and a 7-blade fan. It does not matter which side the fan blades are installed on. DO NOT install two 5-blade assemblies or two 7-blade assemblies, as this would cause a noise issue.
