Ok so I saw this super cheap brand new electric fan for my 2004 Tahoe on Amazon WITH free shipping for 35 bucks totall.....I figured it was worth the gamble. It just came in. I don't see any part numbers, brand or anything. Would y'all mind looking at the pics to confirm if this fan will fit???

You will either have to measure the width and height of your radiator to guess that.My questions would be were are the relays and wiring for that price no way they were included.ALso how does it mount to the radiator i see holes on the bottom.Does it give you the cfm of the fans.What about posting the link from amazon that you bought it from.

Dorman brand. They look very close, 5 blade and 7 blade fans. The second pic is upside-down and the top mounting holes are shown. The ears on the sides of the fan slide down into hooks on the side of the radiator. Missing the bottom and top rubber bumpers/mounts but those may be on your current fan shroud.

EDIT: pics of (dirty) OE fans here:

Still dont no if your installing a new harness or have relays for it.Hope your not gong to run a switch with wires directly to it.If so bring some heavy duty cable cutters and a fire extinguisher.:flamingdevil:

those holes are actually the top and you would normally swap the rubber bushings from your old fan shroud to this one, that is a fan & shroud only Dorman does not sell a "kit" to convert to electric. it will physically fit 00-14 1500 suv's and pickups, avalanche, etc

Sweet thank you for the info!

620-653 is a factory replacement for a 34" rad it looks like. Nice find. You can definitely make that work

Awesome thanks! And thanks for the other replies guys.

Have a couple other questions if yall don't mind.

I haven't been able to get in touch ScottyBoy about the relay harnesses he sells. Has anyone heard from him lately? Anyone know of an alternative harness that works well if I can't get in touch with him? We have one junkyard I might be able to grab one from. But it's not a you pick, I'd have to explain to them very carefully to get the two wires going into the harness.

You sure that $35 wasn't the monthly payment?

You made me double check! But nope. Just saw it "available from other sellers for less" and I took the gamble. Still haven't put 12v to it yet to see if it works but so far looks legit.

So was that an Amazon warehouse deal because I don’t see any near that cheap.

Not susure it does say "Sold by Amazon services" on the receipt and there is a sticker on the box that makes me think it was a return....need to but 12v on it and see if it works....l don't see any signs of installation though.

Yep it’s either a return or reman, either way you got a steal. Those are $175 new.

Isn't there a difference in just the blade count between the years.
ya there is a mixture of blade counts 5&5 5&7 7&9, rimmed, non-rimmed, 500w, 700w, shroud outer diameter is the same and the connectors are the same, on the 7&9 blade the shroud is thicker (still fits)
after 2014 they went to a direct drive motor so the design is different
radiators fit 2000-2014, on the earlier models some had a slightly smaller width radiator but you can fit a 34" in all of them (there are holes in the support you just move the rubber bushings to the outer holes) then you would just have to find the 34" shroud and it's plug-n-play
the only difference is if you had a trans/oil cooler, then you just have to be sure to get one with that option, if you did not have that option you can still use the radiator with trans/oil cooler that part just doesn't get used.
the only thing you loose putting a newer radiator in a older truck is the petcock drain that gm did away with at some point.

Hey thanks that's perfect! The Nelson harness looks great, they have the two trigger wires already pinned which is great. Looks like racetronix only have a universal harness.
