I wish I could scoot over and give you a hand to change the fan and the thermostat, but I’m not allowed to work on cars just yet! Recovering from colon cancer takes awhile!

I just read that, and I am sorry to hear about your health😔. We all take life for grandid until something happens. But are you in remission? And yes I would have enjoyed your help today, as a matter of fact I just came in front outdoors and I managed to get the fan out as you can see in the pictures. Not too bad of a job, I had to disconnect the radiator to get the fan out. It is so dirty in that area I may pressure wash that out. The new fan arrives tomorrow I hope this saga will be over.🙏🤞

***Update*** The car is fixed. It was the cooling fan. I installed the new fan i purchased from rockauto, turned on the AC and it came right on. Huge weight lifted off. Thank you again for everybody's help.

Me too. I still need to do the thermostat, coolant flush and I now need a new upper radiator hose because I bent mine really bad moving it out of the way during the install. I'm afraid it will burst now. But for now my car is very happy. I will pray for your health Oldblue. I hope you stay healthy.
