FAILURE ON THE SWAP!!!!!!! Today the Hydraulic pump bearing overheated and leaked ATF all over my engine bay, belt, electrical and just made a mess under my hood and I was lucky to make it home driving with a slipping serp belt and tranny fluid fying everywhere from Downtown LA...to Santa Monica... THERE IS NO WAY TO BYPASS THE HYDRAULIC FAN TOO FREE SPIN!!!!!! I repeat removing the vains is a load of horse crap!!! Now, I need to delete the hydraulic pump and pulley altogether, remove the fan tank and hose lines and install a shorter serp belt or quickly find a idler pulley that will stand in place of the Hydraulic pulley and bolt right on... The search is on, any help on the replacement idler would be most fantastic....
On a brighter note the electric fan works fantastic, a/c on in traffic in 90 degree weather today and the cooling was normal.. With the long running time today the still ATP fluid in the hydraulic pump over heated and the seals blew out....So kids don't try this at home...
