I have a 2002 GMC Envoy / “trailblazer”. The cooling fan clutch is bad and runs non stop when cars running. It’s getting louder. Mechanics say 500. / 2 hr job. Can I just get a used fan from a junk yard and replace the whole thing?

Used parts are sometimes acceptable; you just have to be careful and appreciate the risks. For it to be worthwhile be sure the discount is substantial. As a rough approximation, a used part would have to be no more than half the cost of the new part to make it worthwhile. A good source to identify vendors of used parts is Car-Part.com. If you would like assistance, YourMechanic certified mechanics can install a used part that you select and procure or, if you prefer, install a brand new part whether supplied by you or purchased by YourMechanic for you.
