Fan Shroud

[jmoore]

I"m nearing the completion of my HG change. So far it seems this truck just wants to fight me every step of the way! Arrrg.

Anyway. Last night I pulled the radiator to replace the transmission fluid temp sensor. When I put it all back together I noticed that the fan shroud is loose and flapping around at the bottom on the radiator. I don't remember what holds it in place. is it supposed to slide under the radiator somehow? How does it attach down there?

The bottom of the shroud needs to fit inside a shallow lip just in front of the radiator. Take it out and look down, it should be obvious though there might be a bit of rust/crud in there.

Thanks I'll take a peek later, but last night I didn't see anything obvious. I try again.

When you pulled the rad did you notice two of these?

They hold the lower part of the shroud at the bottom of the rad. There is also a curved piece of plastic/rubber that the whole rad sits on.
There's a diagram in the rave manual that shows it all. Not the easiest to get all lined up and have the clips stay in place.

AHHH! I didn't see those. I'll take a look. I wonder if they fell off and are on my garage floor!

Thanks!
