Make that the $600 radiator - plus it likes the hood, too. You can drive without the fan as long as you don't stop in traffic for more than a red light. At 45 mph, fan does not have much to do.

So if no fan noise when cold start, might be fan clutch as well.

Savannah you got a link or website where I can pick one up for 50.00 I appreciate your help. I am going to check for the Roar Now. Thanks for the advice..

I did one of these and I think it was about $47 at the parts store. I also tinkered around with some off GM trucks in the junk yard, same size (six inch), and reverse rotation.

Before you go spending money remove your engine fan and drive for awhile and see if the noise is still there or not.

Solved guys, the guy put my belt on wrong, was not in the right order, so got it rerouted thanks to Savannah Posting the link. (Thanks Savannah), the squeal is gone and guess what guys, the Tachometer is working just fine now. Thanks guys you are awesome. I like the Rover better than my new Tacoma..LOL;-)
