I checked NAPA online and they didn't have one listed. I'll go to the local store tomorrow. Thanks. I hate to spend stealership prices if I don't have to, money is tight now a days.

My 2003 Did the same thing, I would almost overheat up hills temp would go to the top of the safe zone around 235 and then on the down hills it would go back to safe zone. I took it to a dealer in Ottawa Kansas and they were able to pull the code decrease performance as well. Did not tell me they had any other codes. Come to find out that the wiring for my fan clutch under the radiator, the green wire had been removed from the wiring harness, so the darn thing was not even trying to turn on. I was running with no fan at all. I rewired the fan in and now the sucker runs all the time never cycles off. So I want to know if anyone can send me information on the type and specifics on an electrical fan, and how to wire it in, just use the existing 2 wires or do I need to wire it so that it comes on automatically with the selection of turning on the A/C??

By the way the dealer here said it would be 534$ plus tax for the job like 2 hours labor and 384$ for the fan.

I have been doing some research on this and now I have come across something on the internet that says maybe my issue with it being locked engaged all the time is my ECM might be out?

If so wouldnt there be some other issues that would be caused by the ECM being out?

Thanks
Brian

They don't have a listing for a 04, 03 only. That doesn' make sense aren't they the same?

Not to change the subject, but is it possible to adapt a 3rd gen electric fan clutch to a 2ond gen? I'm not terribly fond of the viscous-fluid thing in mine.
