RE: 5KCSTQ Fan Issues

["Richard Haroutunian" <Richard_Haroutunian@inso.com>]

Gary,

Can't figure out this fan issue.  The fan seems to work fine, it just seems
to be a bit louder than normal when the engine is running.  Also, when the
engine is running, the fan clicks on and seems to be drawing a bit more
power than it usual.

Also, there afterrun fan doesn't seem to be working.  However it usually
doesn't kick on unless I sit in traffic for a while.  The afterrun fan
never ran like Listers talk about -- mine always ran for a few minutes,
then shut off.

I checked the fuses, etc. for the fan -- no burnt fuses.  Also, I noticed
another part humming when the engine is off.  It's some type of pump
located directly behind the rad fan-- with hoses going to and from the
radiator.  It's about the size of a really thin coup can laid on its side.
It's directly behind the rad fan--  in fact, it's so close, it looks like
it may get hit by the fan blades if it were any closer.

help?  What should I do about this -- is there really a problem, or am I
overreacting?

TIA,

Richard
