Alex-- You probably know this, but you didn't mention it, so... There are three wires into the battery pack fan housing. One is 12V power, one is ground. The third is a TTL-level PWM control signal from some computer, which turns the fan on and off rapidly to control its speed...

Kevin and all, I think the GM manual starts by saying "pull the motor" which is the hard way. The easy way is to approach it from underneath the truck (a pit would be ideal, but I have done it with the truck sitting on the ground- raising the truck even 2 inches helps a lot)....

Hi Alex, I don't know about any other conversations, but I recently had issues with my battery pack fan motor as well. At first, I noticed that the 3-pin connector at the motor was getting warm, and the pins were oxidized. I cut out the connector and hard-wired the motor, whic...

Hi Michael, Not too sure you could put a price guide together. You get what you can when you're ready to sell. As Gil said, $8555 for a running truck, I paid $10,300 for a 97 without batteries, and I've heard prices up to $25,000. As my insurance company pointed out, these tru...
