Low power/no acceleration after warmed up
#62
Fixed it!!!
No More Huge Fan noise under hood and no more power loss when engine is warmed up!!!
I after spending thousands of dollars on various sensors and repairs, fuel injectors, fuel pumps, etc. I went with this AC Delco Fan Clutch ACD# 15-4684, GM# 15154901
This part cost me about $90 and shipping.
The fan clutch was one of the items I replaced from the get-go, but used a different part/manufacturer and it cost about $40-$60 at the time. And my issue was still present
Once I installed the new Fan Clutch from AC Delco, the huge fan noise was present for about 5 sec, then dissipated. I ended up driving from Arizona to Denver the very next day (about 900 miles). Not ONCE did the fan/power loss issue surface......
My Truck stayed under 190 Degree entire way through!

I believe the first time I replaced the fan clutch, it was either a bad one, or just functioned/engaged once the engine temp hit around 130-140 degrees. After knocking around the idea that the problem only occurred once the Fan clutch would engage at such an early temperature, I tried to think "How do we keep the Fan Clutch area COOLER?" The only conclusion I had left was to try a different fan clutch...

I know many are finding out that buying OEM aka AC Delco or Delphi up front is cheaper in the long run. It is hard to do when you are on a tight budget and you are presented with 'bargains' on the net /ebay. But I like doing the job once and not chasing around after an illusive trouble. Exp. when you thought you had fixed a problem with inexensive parts. Thanks for posting your search for the solution.
