    wish i would've seen the part about removing support but it got done today i just made it squeeze up and out was a pain ill remember the removal of the four bolts holding hood latch that would've helped lol. also there should be four bolts holding condenser to shroud don't forget those or you will be scratching your head like how does it come loose lol

    Thanks for the video. I watched other videos and thought that it would be a complicated procedure and I watched your video and ordered the fan and the day it arrived I installed it. No problems thanks a bunch!

    Thanks for the tip about the cross brace! I was struggling to remove my battery box. You have the better approach. Thanks!

    I would’ve cut the plastic I would imagine the hard part for me are the four screws that hold the condenser to the plastic shroud I had a little Milwaukee 90 that I could stick on my drill with a short star bit

    Kind of a puzzle game figuring out how to move the shroud in and out, haha. Removing the cross def helped, good call.

      ​@@dudeinthegaragethanks for this video brother because after watching a video of them taking all the ac lines and stuff off I was immediately thinking of doing what you did because I was looking at it saying I'm going to do this one way or the other without disconnecting those freaking hoses lines. Thanks again man

    I just replaced mine for the second time on my 2008. This time I bought the assembly from Advance instead of just a motor. Comes with warranty, and the shroud already has the cutouts. The big trick is taking the bar off the front. Great video, a big help to anyone doing it for the first time!

    Is there a fuse or relay to check if the fan stops working? I’m having same issue 2003 dodge ram 1500

    • @goatman3054
      @goatman3054 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes. It’s relay number like 68 or 72 or something. Check your fuse box cover to make sure. I had diagrams online that were different to my fuse box.

    So I was ready to cut the fan shroud because everything I looked up told me I had to but when I got the new one I guess they smartened up and had that cut out already in it so good for them

  • @scoresandry
    @scoresandry 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks man! This helped. For some reason I couldn't get one of the lower screws (4 plastic to condenser) to connect but it's in and the truck is cool so I'll take it.

    Looks much better than how everyone else is taking the fuse box, battery, and battery tray out.

    Is this the same as the 2012?

    • @dudeinthegarage
      @dudeinthegarage  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Honestly I’m not sure. You would have to compare the two. I can say a lot of the fan manufactures are making the shroud with the cutout now. Good luck and update us on how it went!🤙🏻

    • @thomasp.8366
      @thomasp.8366 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mines is different. It's plug and play, after you take off the shroud.

  • @FlyingSpaghettoMonster
    @FlyingSpaghettoMonster 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    it works, but removing the battery and moving the fuse box still helps and only add a couple minutes to the job. doing both makes this super simple and frustration free (by that I mean there is still all sorts of fenagling, twisting, pulling, prying, ect)

    Looks like by you removing that support bracket you were able to move everything back abit vs having to take the battery out and tray correct?

    • @dudeinthegarage
      @dudeinthegarage  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, allows you to get it in and out with a lot less twisting and anger! Lol 🤙🏻

    To tilt the top bar out, do the main radiator top and lower bolt also have to come out no? Otherwise that stops the bar rolling out forward?

    • @jdoconnor8883
      @jdoconnor8883 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just did this job myself. Took me more than 20 min though. Yes the radiator bolt has to come off.
