I did this job yesterday evening. It took me about 1.5 hours to get old one out and new one in and about 30 minutes to figure out on how to mount new solenoid. I ended up drilling a hole and cutting the lower section of mounting plate so I can have two mounting points ( Top is slotted so your hole measurement does not have to be exact). I did take the upper piece of the fan shroud off though, it's a split shroud. It makes the job way easier. Don't forget to put cardboard to protect radiator just in case you drop a tool. If you drop the new fan clutch assembly might as well order a new radiator because the cardboard will not protect it, it's heavy. I'm a one man shop but have 20 years experience.
I’m having trouble disconnecting the air line. I’m extremely new to working on my truck it was a easy fix so I figured I would save myself a few thousand by doing the repair myself. But the air line is giving me all the difficulty. I got the fan removed so I could get to air line better but still having difficulty. What part are you using the wrench on to release the air? Please help.
