Have fun installing! Requires a lot of patience.

Only one head lost on 7mm! Installed on a '97 GMC Sierra K1500. Found that the fan switch is defective. It was another nightmare that I'll save for another time.

Pros
  • Includes straps needed for most repairs
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Pros
  • Fan Motor Speed Resistor and Wiring Harness
Cons
  • Fair

Works in a 1999 Chevy Suburban K1500

Edit: 5/2017 - Low and medium fan speeds again failed in January. Fan motor replaced, no change. Looks like the resistance died again after 4 years. At least a cheap replacement part. First review: I bought this because my air conditioning/heating suddenly stopped working properly. This only works at high levels - nothing comes through the vents when set to low, low, medium, or medium. At @$$, it was difficult to get to the resistance of the lawnmower behind the glove box. You've got about 2.5…

Pros
  • High quality materials effectively resist condensation which normally corrodes resistors
