    - POWAY, CA

    I HAD DRIVEN THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS THAT MORNING. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT FOR ONE CYCLE. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR I HEARD AND FELT A BANG AND CRUNCH. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON BUT I STARTED TO SMELL COOLANT. I STOPPED TO FIND THE COOLING FAN TORN APART, FAN SHROUD WITH MANY HOLES IN IT, AND THE RADIATOR WITH MULTIPLE HOLES. ALL THE COOLANT HAD EMPTIED ONTO THE STREET. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALER TO BE LOOKED AT. AFTER THE DEALERS INVESTIGATION THE SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS FAILURE MANY TIMES BEFORE AND THE CAUSE IS ONE OF TWO POSSIBLE SCENARIOS: THE FAN SHROUD HIT THE FAN, WHICH CAUSED THE BREAKUP OF THE FAN AND DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR, OR FIRST THE FAN CAME APART AND CAUSED THE SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE. THE REQUIRED PARTS ARE FAN, FAN SHROUD, AND RADIATOR. *TR
