Update on my 11 blade clutch fan vs original 5 blade fan
Upgraded my 1990 K2500 TBI 350 from a 5-blade steel to ACDelco 1580739 today. Fit perfectly on my new ACDelco clutch 1540109. $60 for the fan blade at a nearby O'Reillys auto parts. Fits in the shroud perfectly.- Tripp

1997 5.7 Vortec won't start.

Ok, so I'm gonna update this situation. I miss driving my Tahoe so much, lol. I replaced the camshaft position sensor. Still won't start. Today I rented the 150 dollar fuel testing kit from AutoZone. I was going to do my testing tonight, but apparently my battery is dead, again. So now it's on...- Tripp

I tested the camshaft position sensor and it's got good power, and good ground, but the signal wire wasn't sending anything back out. I'm gonna purchase the camshaft position sensor and rent a fuel pressure kit from AutoZone. I'm gonna test the fuel pressure and if everything looks right, I'll...- Tripp

Apparently they rent out a complete kit for $150. When the time comes that's probably what I'll use.- Tripp

Yeah but right now money is kinda tight... So what should I start doing first? Checking fuel pressure? Should I check at the fuel test port first?- Tripp

I bought one from them to hook up to the fuel test port but returned it when I realized it wouldn't open the Schrader valve. Now I guess I should've kept it lol.- Tripp

I just went out the truck to try to start it and the tb coughed up carb cleaner again. I don't know. I guess I've got to check fuel pressure- Tripp
