Today I was servicing one of my trucks, I have finished the wheel bearings and swivel hub bearings, So I decided to do the belts and hoses .
Well the other day I got the rego cert and Gavin said I see you fan blade is broken, He suggested I change it due to it affecting the water pump, EG : out of balance.
So today I was changing the fan blade as I had a spare thanks to the wreck I bought last year, when I noticed that when it broke it nipped the radiator core and put a tiny hole in it.
Had I not changed the blade I may not have have seen it, I here you say don't you
check the fluid levels, Yes I do but on this occasion I had dropped the water out of the radiator to change the hoses and top it up with fresh coolant, so if I didn't remove the shroud to change the blade, I wouldn't have seen it.
As I said a little advice went a long way.
Cheers Steve.
