Problem:
When removing the counterweight brackets on 1999 model year Rowcrop Challengers, the bolts, if not reinstalled, can cause the support plate under the radiator to shift. This can cause contact of the fan to the shroud and failure to the fan, shroud, fan belt or other related components.
Solution:
When removing the counterweight bracket, make sure to reinstall the bolts shown in illustration 1. In addition, check the alignment of the radiator in relation to the fan to ensure that clearance exists.
