I just bought a 2000 Chevy Blazer 4x4 with a v6 and I am curious about some loud engine noise after starting the car and taking off out of park.
After I start up the Blazer the engine sounds like a high powered fan.
It gets louder as I accelerate until it reaches 2nd gear.
=A0=A0Be I would go under the hood and make sure you can turn the fan by hand.
an old trick for bad fan clutches that don't work....is to lock them up mechanically... a side effect is that the thing sounds like a bi-plane on take off. any whoo....
check that first....and if it does turn..then crank the truck up and make sure the noise is actually coming from the fan, which I doubt, if the fan clutch will turn fairly easily by hand.

So if my 89 S15 4.4l isn't loud at start-up,
does that mean the fan clutch isn't working?
