Re: Loud Radiator Fan....LS Heating

I'd start by making sure you don't have restrictions in front of the radiator/condenser. If there isn't a bunch of debris, then visually inspect the radiator fan to see if it is loose or if one of the fan blades is damaged or cracked. Following that you might need to visit someone who has a radiator system pressure tester. Some of the auto parts stores may have one of these in their loan-a-tool program. Make sure the pressure cap holds the correct amount of pressure and that the system also holds pressure. You could also use an infrared thermometer to make sure the engine and radiator are actually getting as warm as the gauge indicates. Beyond these checks I think you're up to the less easily inspected items such as the water pump, thermostat, and radiator fan motor.
