Would this be a good fan upgrade 2013 Yukon xl

[Letcher77]

Looking to see if this would be a good fan upgrade for a 2013 Yukon XL Denali. It does not have the K5L option. Just has the 5/7 fan blades. I notice the Yukon gets hot going up long hill grades when loaded or towing.

You can get used ones on eBay for half that cost. I bought a set of 700w 9/7 and also 700w 5/5. For me, the 9/7 seemed to help my idle AC performance more which was my goal here in Texas. I can’t comment on the towing performance comparison. 15780789 in the search pulls up both types.

Several threads on here about upgrading the whole assembly or motors. Here’s a few for thought: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/k5l-cooling-fans.116877

KL5 700 Watt Fan Conversion - 1 or both?

For those who have upgraded to the 700w radiator fans, where are you buying them? Are you buying both or just the driver side? I have heard that if you run both, the electrical system has a hard time keeping up unless you upgrade that. Does it matter how many blades the fan is? I have a 2013...

I think @Geotrash did one motor and has an upgraded trans cooler and is pleased with tow performance.

I have a chance to get the one listed for super cheap. Just wondering if it’s the K5L version.

When 1 factory motor costs as much as that whole assembly, there's no way I would trust my life to that.

How many miles on the radiator that’s in it? They get partially blocked over time even when well maintained. And is the factory transmission cooler still in place or has someone installed a larger one in front of the radiator?

 

[Letcher77]

Just under 100k miles and still stock trans cooler.

that tyc might actually be a downgrade from oem....
if you have rpo code k5l then you already have the enhanced cooling radiator and 700w fans
i upgraded mine to k5l and I can still make mine get hot, not even towing usually in the hot part of summer only though, you could try a mishimoto or coldcase radiator.
just be aware they can be hit-n-miss on if they develop leaks or not, seems to be about 50/50

I don’t have the K5L option

Then you may now decide whether or not you'd like to upgrade to K5L ...
