Horton Fan

[rickandcheryl]

I'm looking to purchase a Horton Fan and have it installed. I would like some recommendations for this in Southern California. Would prefer the Los Angles area but will travel a little further. Thanks, I appreciate the help, Rick

any mechanic familiar with them should be able to do it

Rick, if you do locate a Horton fan clutch and you want it installed by a very competent installer, Jim Leonard in Southern CA. comes highly recommended by those that have previously used his services. Jim advertises (or used to) in the back of the TDR magazine.

As far as I know, Jim Moved out of Southern California . I think he's up in northern Ca now.

RE: Horton fan



I installed this fan in my truck in 5/01. Not a difficult job. The mechanics are straghtforward and the electrics are not difficult. All parts are clearly marked and the instructions are good. The only difficulty I had was finding a wrench that fits the stock fan drive nut. I believe I used a large Crescent and a piece of pipe for leverage. Beyond that, no problem.



Since install, the only problem I had was severing the electrical line from the senders to the fan clutch. My problems was that I hadn't made sure that ALL the slack wa taken out of the wiring. Wires got sucked into the fan and sliced them cleanly. Take care.



Other than that, no problems were encountered.



Give it a try!



Good luck.

Stock fan clutch nut requires a 36mm wrench. Horton fan clutch nut requires a 2" wrench. NAPA Auto Parts stocks the wrenches/or can be ordered.

The one off my 99 is for sale I guess, won't fit the new truck
