KL5 700 Watt Fan Conversion - 1 or both?

[swathdiver]

I had the dealer parts guy check when I did my conversion to 700w fans and he said the relays are the same, connectors the same, this was based on vin number's with a known k5l vin versus my non k5l vin, in addition I have been running the 700w fans for around 4-5 years and have had no issue's. I recently discovered the right side fan motor started to melt the connector a little bit so I replaced both the motor and connector, not unusual for a high amperage part.

Thanks Wes! Did you also replace the blades? I don't remember anymore.

I believe he originally bought the whole fan shroud with motors and blades from a Hummer

no, just searched and bought a shroud from a hummer because I had doubts about any other shrouds having k5l since every seller seems to list them as "k5l"

Did OP install the 700 watt motor?


OK he did....

Swapped to the 700w fans when I swapped out the radiator a few weeks ago. Definitely louder

That’s why I think I may have gotten the 700w fan motor and blade after all. It’s much louder than it was.

The model # of the motor you got shows on that spreadsheet as a 700w motor

Thanks for double checking. I could’ve sworn it wasn’t when I checked it a few months ago, but you’re right.
