My 2000 GMT400 K3500. CC SRW Long box.
Things added that might draw some extra amperage.
Air Dog lift pump.
Electro Viscous radiator fan system.
Thats about all that I think thats been installed. No extra stereo amps or some such as that kinds of items.
First time it happened was when I realized that the PO had installed one fifty amp thats the furthest to the back in the under the hood fuse/relay box.
Installed 30 amp units whats called for in the owners manual.
Things going along just fine until I was on my way home from Missoula, round trip.
That was real early morning, had heater fan turned on, probably high as it was early to mid winter. Seemingly for no reason, lights out, engine quit running, dead, everything is dead.
Get out, that one main fuse is burned out. 30 amper unit back into the slot.
All has been well with it until last Saturday.
Wifey has the truck, she has been out for about an hour, driving around after fueling the truck.
I get the call, she is on the trail headed into my sisters place and fuse burns.
She calls, drive to location, another 30 amp fuse.
I tell her to not run the AC.
Truck is parked in front of bay door. I move the truck.
AC button still depressed, blower in off position.
One thing I have heard is the blower motor makes a kind of a quiet whirring noise.
Now I’m wondering that since we are celebrating the 250th year of the founding of Our country, if, it would be okay to liad the parts cannon with one new blower motor and take a shot at the truck with one blower motor ? ? ? ?
