5.3 fan

[thealien]

I am looking at a 2005 5.3 DBW engine out of a suburban. They just sent me a picture and it has a clutch fan. Did they have a clutch fan in 2005? I thought they were electric by then?

Thanks

txarkitekt confirmed that all 2005s had electric fans. I also recieved this email from GM confirming that!

Based on the VIN, the engine on this vehicle is a Vortec 5300 V8 Flex Fuel Engine. Only the 8100 V8 engines are equipped with the Engine-Driven Cooling Fan. All other engines has an option for an Electric Engine Cooling Fan.
