They're too wide for your radiator core. {:-(Quote:

would the electric fans for a 2005 Tahoe, Yukon and Suburban fit on my 2001 silverado 5.3? i think i found some for my truck if they will fit :taunt: it measures approximately 34 1/2" wide, 20" high and 4" deep if that helps any
if they do fit, does anyone have a clue of how they cool in comparison to the flexalites?
thanks for the bad news :flipoff: LOL just kiddin :cool:
what size radiator do i have? or better yet, what size fans do i need...
You have a 28" core. So the LS1 fans fit pretty well actually. You need fans to match the core size.
i was hoping for the factory look...im kinda picky about my ride as im sure most of yall are too. does the ls1 fans bolt right up or do you have to mod it up a little.
does anyone know if i can do the ls1 electric fans, but still have to put the factory shroud back in? you know, just to keep it "factory lookin".
one last annoying question :smile: will i need to make any of my own brackets or can i just bolt the fans up?
You could always get a wider rad like I did to run those '05 fans. I want an HD rad with an oil cooler (not just an ATF cooler). So if you run into one, let me know for sure!
The wider rad cools a lot better.
I had to make some brackets to run those LS1 fans, took about 15min to do at the most. I'll try to find some pics of the install I had on my '99 Z71.
Here's before I went to the wider rad. Mind you the 34" rad is 6" more than the 28". I used the stock shroud holes to hang the fans. http://photobucket.com/albums/v437/H...nt=LS1Fans.jpg
a new radiator sounds expensive, and like a pain in the butt. looks like im in the market for ls1 fans. i cant see the picture you posted, and it says your site is private. thanks for all the help by the way :smile:
yo' HD01, how about an update? any problems, or did everything go smoothe? do you feel any difference?? do you think it was worth it??? talk to us!
Rad swap is easy, and cheap if you look. I got my rad for less than $100...
