Ok, I have a 2001 Silverado and I bought the factory dual electric fan setup for it from GM, but my radiator is too small for the setup, does anyone know were I can find the right radiator for my truck so I can put this in, I know it will fit I have two bolt holes on the core support that are not being used so the wider radiator would bolt their and the factory fan setup will bolt were my radiator is now bolted to, I've gone directly to the dealer to find the right fan and all they tell me is that they use the same radiator for all the silverado's and than I show them what I am talking about and the are just speechless and can't help me. so any help would be great.

gmpartsdirect.com suggests that the 2001 radiator and the 2005 radiator (the first year electric fans were first installed from the factory) have different part numbers (these are for the 5.3).

 

15193110 - 2001

 

15841571 - 2005

 

So, not all GM trucks have the same radiator, but we already knew that.

When GM went with the electric cooling fans in 2005 they used the same radiator the 2500 series used. I believe its 2" wider. I myself used the same radiator in my 04 with a C5 Vett cooling fan & shroud assembly with a aftermarket controller from Jeg's. I tow a trailer in the summer without any problems.

Try 4 seasons radiator.

I've used them for a Wrangler V8 conversion and several other Jeep applications and they always came through. They have good old copper / brass radiators available too for better heat dissipation. I even put one in my Cherokee 4.0.

 

Worth a look!

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
