I just went through this as well, also the v6. My bleeder screw was stripped. A previous owner tried to turn it too far and the stops broke. It only turns a little more than 1/4 turn counterclockwise to bleed, clockwise to re-seal. It will also raise out a bit when you open it to bleed. If...

I'll chime in, having been going through this repeatedly myself. I am still suspicious of your fan. I'm wondering, as joegr commented, whether it is going to high speed. The degas bottle is a job you can do at home. Just budget two hours for your first try and wear gloves to prevent...

Sounds like I need to get a new fan. In everyone's opinion, is the wiring now acceptible (for the new fan)? - 12v constant on; positive remote battery lug in passenger front wheel well connected thru a 30 amp fuse to relay input (spade #30). - 12v switched on; connected to an accessory 12v...

Don't have the box anymore. The instruction sheet doesn't mention a make or model (I believe it is a Hayden - cheap brand at O'Reilley's), however it does specify a 25 amp fuse. I'm beginning to wonder now if the fan motor is damaged somehow. The current wiring set-up should work fine. The...

Fan still blowing fuses (!!!! argghhhh!!), but only with motor running. See above for backgrouns, but it's a new electric fan. I connected the relay power line to the positive battery post lug in the passenger wheel well as joegr suggested. One wire, 12 gauge in a loom. I placed a 30 amp...

Thank you for your response, Joegr. First, I will have to look for leaks, again. I have done ALL of the major repairs/upgrades on the cooling system and ultimately found a leak in the passenger side radiator tank, and so replaced the radiator - a MAJOR headache. Second, good to know that...

UPDATE - PLEASE SEE LAST POST AT BOTTOM My fiancee has an '01 v6 LS. After many overheating problems and doing ALL the fixes, I installed an electric fan. It has been blowing fuses since I first installed in a few months ago - at first, once in a while, now almost immediately. When it...

Well, I have been dealing with a long-time overheating problem on a 2001 LS v6. Did all the usual stuff: -DCCV - degas bottle - thermostat - metal stat housing - upper radiator pipe - hoses - convert fan to electric - etc. The overheating continued despite all of this and finally, I...

I agree with Joe. "under the engine" covers a lot of area. It must be leaking from somewhere else and dripping down. Make sure both of your bleeder screws are closed all the way. It is also possible it is leaking somewhere closer to the front and being blown back by the fan before dripping...

Let me ask what may seem to be a completely self-evident question, but did you remove the fan and shroud assembly completely from the car or just unbolt it?

Guys - thank you for your input. I guess I'm just going to have to plan a whole day and tackle the elephant one bite at a time. I'm hoping that since I have already converted to an electric fan, that will make the job easier.

The new radiator for my fiancée's 2001 LS v6 should be shipping today. I was wondering how many of y'all have done this installation and if there are any special tips. I have heard pulling it from the bottom is easier, but I'm not sure I can get the car high enough off the ground. I have...

Hello All! I'm a newbie here, though I have been observing for quite some time. There is an amazing wealth of knowledge on this Forum. The car is a 2001 LS v6 and it is my fiancée's car. We have had a heckuva time with it, though I must admit that at 205,000 miles, it still looks great on...
