Well for those who drive there TGP in a winter Climate with Road Salt your in for a treat if you remove your Front Engine Fan......
(Front meaning the one mounted not under the hood but on the condenser side)
Both my TGP's are from PA one from Harrisburg and one From Philly..
those fan motors crumbled in my hands after i took the fan blades off...
Rusted through the housing and literaly fell apart......
Damn Rust!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the one on the inside of the engine bay doesn't have this problem
Now!!!
Both TGP motors are diffrent.....the Inside Motor looks unique to any Other W-body one i have seen......which probibly means that its $$$$$ if it goes bad.....
the Outside fan motor on the TGP (the ones that crumble when rusty)
appear to be the same as my 1993 Cutlass Conv. and like all other W-body's i have seen......Good News but still $$$ to replace new....
im not 100% sure there the same yet....im going to remove one from the Conv. and make sure.....
So!!!!
If your outside TGP fan doesn't function thats the problem if you or your car is exposed to winter conditions or Road Salt....
Way to go once again GM.....
Cheers
Dave
Yeah, the Primary fan (engine side) is $175 new. I went to GM and Advance Auto and they both gave me the same price. FWIW, the primary fan in my auto TGP has "90 GP 2.3L" written on the blades. So, I guess that one works as well because it keeps cool as a cold beer in January. (When it actually works that is :roll: )
Your best bet is to discard the stock GM primary fan-puller direction and install a PermaCool PRM 19114 which is 14" and pulls 2950CFM. I used this on my TGP after a major rebuild and it is amazing and cost well under $100. Trying to find one to match up is almost impossible and frustrating. You will be very happy with the PermaCool.
