drivig into work this morning, the fan on the truck broke a blade, tearing 2 huge holes in the radiator https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

Holy **** man. The turbo diesel!?

Ouch! >_<

decent news. took all of 10 minutes to remove in the parking lot. Dropped it off at the radiator shop. They will bypass the affected rows. It will get me by for a while. Now to find a fan blade in this one horse town

Get a real truck!!!

Care to latch bumpers and pull for pink slips?

Ha!

That thing is a tank, isn't it? Do you know how much she weighs empty? I've got an old C30 Dooley with a 350, but it "only" weighs like 5200 lbs.

gvwr IS 8625

Holy crap...I mean...damn.

Yeah, but that's loaded. I just ran out and looked at the sticker on mine. It says GVWR is 10000 lbs.



Do you know what she weighs as she sits empty, i.e. "curb weight?"

man thats as heavy as your mama

Doncha be talkin' bout ma mamma!

my dad put a stick thru his "BE-COOL" radiator in his jeep, 500.00 radiator lol.

no its not. gvw is how it sits. add that to payload and you get loaded weight.

New fan blade will be in this morning. Now to change out the fan clutch. Radiator place :removed end tanks, cleaned core, plugged six tubes and tested for a whooping $55.00!!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



I need to make a special tool tonight and the truck will be back to 100%

That is simply not correct, sir!

Something makes me think that fan blade made a hell of a noise when it came off!
