electric fan on my 2500?

NeXuS1 · July 27, 2001

i have what i believe is a stock electric fan on the passanger side of the radiator area, i'm wondering what its meant to be cooling? its not all that big and only comes on at a certain temp. and also wondering if my 95 has any form of a tranny cooler? i would assume it would

Your truck would have a tranny cooler if you have the towing package. You can tell if you do by looking at the front of the radiator. If there is a smaller, thinner radiator in front of the main one, that is your cooler.

JP, I think he's talking about the oil cooler. There should be an aux tranny cooler as well, but I don't think there is a fan on it. Some of the oil coolers have fans, but not all.

well i think i figured out where everything is.. the electirc fan i'm guessing is just like a little booster fan to help the clutch fan. (god i hate clutch fans)

Yeah it's a "puller" electric fan for the tranny cooler. I don't know why GM needed it, it was only available with a 454 and 4l80e. The engine oil cooler looks similar but is a lot bigger.
