    That and the fan clutch lasts longer and is more reliable than electric.

    It "went out" after 25 or so years. How many people's original aux fans still work right?

    Need some help figuring out the ETM?

      Mine still works and it's an '89. Keeps my temps at the middle, even with the A/C on.

      If it's not broken, don't fix it. Simple as that.

          i ended up using a long nose vise grip, locked it on that biatch, then i used a prybar as a "punch" on the vise grip with a hammer to break mine free.

          good luck!

              I use a squared sided screwdriver wedged between the water pump bolts and a decent sized wrench

              Works great for me

                ^Exactly what I did. Ive never had too much trouble with it. If you havent already, spray some PB or WD-40 on the sucker. If that fails heat it up with propane torch or brazing tip and if you can get some put a little bees wax on it while hot.
