hey people im new here trying to learn as much as possible about the uplanders and their problems. Is the regulator replacement a recall,as well as the level /sender in the fuel tank? or is that out of my own pocket? thanks.

 

What's wrong with the fuel tank sender?
All the Uplanders "flicker"... I got used to it.

All the best.

P.B.

 

the fuel gauge does not read properly at all, thats why i was wondering why if they were recalls or just usual issues with the uplanders, thanks papa bear

 

have you ever had an issue with engine fans not working at all?

 

I had that problem... it was an electrial 'switch' of some kind.
I'll check the EXACT fix and reply again.

 

There are many possibilities with engine fan not working. First of all check the cooling fan relay and replace it if not working properly. Then check the coolant temperature sensor. I have read in many forums that the 2005 Chevrolet Uplander Engine Cooling Fan Motor is the main reason behind the fan not working. Some of them are the only reason behind engine fan not working.

 

Does the van overheat ??

 

hi and no the van does not over heat, moves over to the mark after half and then backs off (when idiling) stat opening up. otherwise its ohk

 

did u find out what the switch was?

 

I asked "What's wrong with the fuel tank sender?" and you replied .....

That does not answer the question, you just gave me a vague response.

What do you mean by "does not read properly at all" ?

A google of "Uplander TSB" or "Chev Uplander service bulletins" etc usually yields a great deal of info.

All the best.

P.B.
