    Fan permanently clutched in after steering pump replacement

    Napa 81-1411 I can't remember offhand where I got that part number. Probably from the hummer knowledgebase.

    Fan permanently clutched in after steering pump replacement

    I noticed after a few driving sessions following the installation of a new steering pump on my Humvee last weekend that the fan is always clutched in. This means that the fan changes speed with the motor. It also means the engine takes a long time to get up to operating temperature. It doesn't...
