Gibby Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Anybody else that owns a tgp have radiator fans that sound like a jet engine?? Mine are so loud I can't hear the car running at idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat1991 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Not really. I can hear the car over the fan on mine. Which one is it? The radiator fan or the intercooler fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Its the radiator fan that is really noisy, doesn't sound like its going bad, just is loud. Best comparison for people here is it sounds like one of those big fans you run when car is on the dyno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I can hear mine running, but they're not what I consider overly loud. My cars have modified exhaust systems so I hear mostly that at idle. If they were quieter, I'm sure the fan would sound much louder to me.

Gibby Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I suppose I will shoot a video. Maybe I am just sensitive, lol. I bought the car with an exhaust system already on it, Magnaflow all the way back. Sounds great, but I cant hear it at idle with those damned fans... I will get a video after work.

redgrandprix Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 i can't hear mine at all but i have no cat and summit chambered mufflers with modified valvetrain so thats all i hear until i open the hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman093 Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Yeah, it shouldn't be loud. I can't really hear mine at all even when they're both on. Guessing either a bad bearing in the motor or an out of balance blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jman093 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Geez, did you not see this sticker under the hood Gibby? NOT FOR AIRCRAFT USE! LOL. Sorry to laugh at your problem and maybe I'm the only one, but I found that clip absolutely hilarious. That goes right up there with the "for maximum Lumina power" one. In any case the blade or motor is bad. I'm not sure if the radiator fan is different on a TGP than a normal w-body or not. Maybe you mount the blade from the intercooler motor on the radiator motor and see if the rad motor is still noisy. That would tell you which piece is bad.
