Over the weekend my fan clutch stuck on fully engaged & stayed that way.
After reading I have no idea how many topics on this, I had a repair shop that I use put a new one on & a new water pump while they were at it.
Picked it up from the shop & noticed that when I started it up the fan clutch revved up like it was fully engaged, but drove about a block & it quite down & could not get over the power t had now. Drove it home just about a mile, left it sit until next morning went out started it up & sounded like a jet taking off, rpm's were up to about 2000, then as rpms dropped the fan was getting quieter, so I took off I could still here the fan & reduced power for about 3 blocks or so, then it ran fine.
Stopped at store ran in for maybe 10 minutes at first when I started it, it was quite until I hit the gas to backup then it started being loud for just maybe a block then all quite down again.
When the fan isn't engaged full speed, jet engine a roaring it has quite a bit of get up an go.
This is on a 2003 Trailblazer LS, about 120,000 miles, I have only had it for about 6 months or so.
I am not sure what brand of clutch was put on.
Is this normal behavior?
The shop that installed it said it was normal. They told me to drive it for awhile & see what it does & if there is a problem they will take care of it.
I just wanted to get others opinion on this who owns a Trailblazer.
I used to do all my own repairs until health issues forced me to rely on others to do it.
After 20 plus years of owning an 89 Suburban this fancy stuff throws me off on how it works.
Thank you for bearing with a newbie here.
